Wright County Water Patrol not available for our meeting.   Patrol could use more volunteers. Chairman Sedey explained the purpose of the patrol.  We are in need of more volunteers, if interested please contact Chairman Sedey.

Lake Restoration Inc. Rep Mary Jo Furman gave a history of their company.  The cost per square foot has dropped to $2.05 because of the high number of home owners participating in the weed control treatment.  Members may still sign-up, cut-off date will be the middle of May.    The DNR will visit every property owner participating in this program to determine if treatment is necessary. No weeds mean no treatment.  Only 100 feet per lot is allowed to be treated.  

Tab Ashwill offered info on the PCA lake study conducted last summer.   Findings and recommendations.

CRWD Merle Anderson talked to the group about stormwater runoff.  Funding for lake projects can be accomplished through volunteer programs or assessments.  The golf courses and highway projects in the area were discussed.  Outlet was blocked over winter months due to leaves and sand.  It is now open and water is running out of the lake.  The watershed district will have an opening for a Wright County resident in Aug of 2007.  Pleasant Lake will attempt to find an individual who would be willing to serve and then recommend this party to our County Commissioner, Karla Heeter 

Rep Dean Urdahl talked to the Clean Water Legacy Act that was being funded this year by the state government.  This will help with the sewer program Maple Lake and Annandale are working on as well as curlyleaf weed programs.   Chair Sedey thanked Rep Urdahl for his help in past concerns he has been instrumental in solving.

Corinna Township Vision plan will be presented at the next township meeting.  Township residents are encouraged to attend.  The area Lake Associations did meet and review the plan.

Gravel pit concerns from Lake Sylvia/Lake John facilitators Anderson and Dempsey suggested a moratorium period  the County P&Z might entertain.

Board Member M. Obinger met with Mr. Anderson and will continue to keep our association abreast of the status of this concern. 

Hwy 24 project is scheduled for next year, 2007.

Next General Meeting will be an Aug 13th picnic.  The By-Laws will be reviewed at this time and an election for 3 Board Members will take place.
