Earthtec zebra mussel treatment was discussed.  Per Jim Ascheman, the DNR will not let us be involved in testing it on White Bear Lake. In regards to the reserve funds in the budget, the board agreed that the advice of experts, such as Blue Water Science, will be followed for any possible treatment needs. The reserve is equivalent to one year’s budget. Curly leaf is treated by RCWD as it’s considered a “nuisance”; BEAA pays for treatment of non-native milfoil.

 

Gary Krejcarek and Mike Doran will be attending a meeting with the Timber Hills Association on 4/2 and will report back to the board.  The goal is to provide more information to them regarding lake quality maintenance needs and related expenses.

THIS NOTE IS FROM THE MARCH MEETING – SEE BELOW AND IF WE WANT TABLES NUMBERED, DO WE WANT MORE BALLOONS FOR THAT?

  • Check out tables will be numbered by item #, such as items 1-50 and 50-100, but each check out station will have access to both lists of items as some members may win auctions on more than one list.

 

The Board decided to place an ad in the WB Press after the event to thank the many donors.  – NO ONE IS ASSIGNED TO THIS.

 

Some of the auction items mentioned: a private tour of the island home for 4, garage floor coating and installation, tickets to see Adam Lambert in Bohemian Rhapsody at State Theater, tickets for sporting events, salons, and restaurants.

 

After the event, Adam will be sure the coolers can be purchased on the website.  Molly will send him a photo for that purpose.   

 

 

Clean up after ice houses:

Carole Moorewill follow up with Kevin Lund regarding anything scheduled for this year and to potentially have him help organize an event for next year. He had not responded to an earlier email.

 

A motion was made by Mike to adjourn the meeting.  It was seconded by Bart and approved by the Board. Meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. 

 

Next meeting is scheduled for May 2ndat Carole Moore’s house at 7 PM.
