Weed control:   Markstrom reports that a total of $4,200 was paid out by the Association to lake Restoration last season for weed control on the west end of the lake.   A marked improvement was reported by many and a repeat of the program will take place this coming Spring.   We hope to bring the City and County into this program.   The County Parks program is looking at our request for funds after an initial visit by Chair Sedey and the City will be approached  at the Dec. Council meeting.  Sec. Peterson will ask to be put on the agenda. Markstrom will inform Lake Restoration that the Association will pay the permit costs for all property owners again.  This will save each owner $40.  

Clean Water grant has  been requested by Chair Sedey and Markstrom to the County who will administer any moneys  between 8 local  lakes.   We are on their list but they have not yet received any  money .
