GENERAL MEETING--9AM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16,2002

24 property owners were in attendance. Meeting was called to order by President, Bruce Grachek.

Joan Lawler requested the minutes of the first meeting be ammended to read that the feedlot inspector found no violations on Lawler's property.

No treasurer's report. Bruce recapped expenditure for water study of Pleasant Lake. Other bills for postage, copies, and supplies will be submitted.

MEMBERSHIP--Marie Roes and Betty Provo are updating list and directory as dues come in.

GEESE--Jan Johnson gave an excellent report on Elk River's program. They have a much bigger problem, and felt our numbers didn't justify spending money on a roundup here. Elk River tests their beaches twice a week during summer for contamination and every 5 years the lake is tested 6 times for phosphorus. Wednesday, Nov. 20th at 6PM, the Elk River City Council and Lake Association is having a collaborative meeting and we have been invited to attend. Steve Bruggeman will check with Bruce Karg and Jim Latour (council members and lake residents) to see if they can attend. Bruce G. also agreed to attend.

LOON PROTECTION--Steve brought plans for nesting islands. Kermit Lundeen suggested marking off nesting areas in Spring. John Bishop suggested talking to Dick and Betty Anderson on Lake Sylvia about their program.

HIGHWAY 24--Bruce had talked to the DNR and they assured him they would never approve filling the lake to accomodate a road. John B. is on the developement corporation and will be meeting with the new representatives to see where the Hwy 24 project is on the 2005 agenda. Because of state budget constraints, it may be pushed back.

DUES--good response--50 out of 125 have joined so far.

NEW BUSINESS:

--Board of Directors--our by-laws state 9 directors--Steve Bruggeman, Peter Malmberg, Ron Johnson, Bob Markstrom, Vince Lundeen, George Roes, Kermit Lundeen, Val Lawler, and Julie Sedey volunteered to serve.

--Vince suggested a representative from Clearwater River Watershed District be invited to our next general meeting. Also discussed possibility of our association having a representative on the CRWD board. That's an elected position.
