Geese report: Residential geese population is only about 30. Migratory population remains high concern.

Weeds: Shannon Bishop did check our weed condition and found no milfoil but did notice a high concentration of curly leaf pond weed. Greg Olson suggested that we join the Mn. Lake Association so that we keep up with current state wide weed situations and concerns.

Election of Board of Directors: Going off are Val Lawler, Julie Sedey, Ron Johnson. New directors are Jim DiOrio, John Sedey, Jim Peterson-alternate Tab Ashwill

New development runoff: Very high concern about the new 80 acre, 200 unit development. Holding ponds for the new project have been described as three large ponds to slow the runoff of excess water. The holding ponds at the golf course are pumped into the creek which feeds into Pleasant Lake. Ditches and culverts have already been widened to increase the flow of water into the lake. City will be contacted.

History of culvert and valve; George Arenson was present when natural drainage was adjusted and has information pertaining to decisions made back then and by whom. George will furnish this history .

Anderson petition: Petition has been completed and turned over to the CRWD. We are waiting for a reply.

Joe Joyce has contacted the Wright County Park System concerning trailer parking in parking lots and along roads. Joe feels there may be too many boats allowed on the lake and would like to see if fewer parking areas would help this situation.
