UNFINISHED BUSINESS

 

Hayes and Demulling explained buoy marker placement.  Hayes reported the buoys have arrived, and he will pick them up tomorrow from Warner’s Dock.  Demulling, along with Dan Michaelis, poured the buoy anchors.  Demulling has also ordered the clamps and chain.  The permit is currently at the DNR office in Madison, and once approved, the committee will place both the 2 rock safety buoys as well as the 10 no wake buoys.

 

Hayes moved to order 2 signs explaining buoy ordinance.  One will be installed at the public landing on the North end of the lake, and the other at Jackelen’s landing pending his permission.  Motion was seconded by Goodlad and carried.

 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

Demulling and Hayes reported on the status of the aerator.  On June 7th they observed the underground pipe leading from the aeration house to the pipe located in the lake was leaking.  On Wednesday a backhoe was rented and the bank was dug up exposing a broken pipe.  After determining that the pipe was not repairable, a decision was made to order a high-pressured

3-1/2”  flexible house and run this from the aerator house above ground to the pipe located in the lake.  The high pressure hose has arrived and will be installed once the clamps are in.

 

Committee discussed doing a draw down on the Nutzmann dam to do a carp survey.  Demulling to contact the Star Prairie Fish & Game regarding this.

 

Hayes discussed plans by Polk County to study the water quality coming into Cedar Lake from Horse Creek.  Hayes has contacted Jeff Timmon, Jerry Williamson, and Buzz Sorgy from the DNR.  A grant will be applied for from the State DNR.

 

Discussion by Hayes to have the Lake District hire off duty police personnel to enforce lake ordinances.  Example would be the water-skipping ordinance near the outlet.  The Committee agreed to bring this up at the annual meeting in August for public comment.

 

Goodlad moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Demulling and carried.  Meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.

 

The next meeting will be July 26, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. at the Star Prairie Community Center.
