Culvert on east end of the lake will need volunteers to keep the ditch from the lake to the culvert clear of sand.

Water Monitoring DNR project for our lake will be explained by Chair Sedey and T Ashwill There will be a short (5 minute) video.   The 1st sample will be taken this week and this will continue throughout the summer.  The DNR and Pollution Control will be monitoring 15 lakes in our area this summer.  They will be gathering info on a wide variety of subjects impacting our lake.  Our lake is 60 feet deep in one location.  

Weed control.   Rep Anderson will contact the DNR and gather info on securing signs to be placed at our 2 landings relating to cleaning off boats & motors before entering or leaving the lake. 

The 89th Street black topping project is set for Sept. 1st.  There are approx 60 home owners affected by this project.

Pleasant Lake shirts with the present logo will be available soon for purchase. Chair Sedey will be contacting the printer for needed print.

Complaint from home owner relating to rats and other rodents infesting neglected property.  This will be discussed at general meeting and some course of action will be taken.

The treatment plant for Annandale & Maple Lake was discussed relating to our lake. A decision will be coming soon.   It was hoped that the water could be treated and sent through wetlands for additional filtering before reaching any water source.  It has now been directed to be piped from the treatment center directly to the Crow River and this has become an issue with a group downstream. 

Rep Anderson explained to the group the newly mandated requirement in having a second site for septic systems and wells on new construction. Lot size will need to be much larger then present to conform to this mandate.

Survey results tabulated and will be shared with membership at Sat. meeting.    

August general membership meeting will be followed by a picnic.
