AIS – Brad

  • Treatments:  Spring was curly leave and July milfoil. The treatments were successful. Did water level help with the reduction of weeds? There is a lot of coon tail which is native, so they did not treat. Steve will discuss in annual meeting. Could we have done anything proactively? or do we just need to wait and see each year? Is there a standard cycle?
  • Brad to work with Melissa Telsrow to get Steve’s report posted to the website

 

  • Ideas around working with Steve in the future:
    • Steve reviews the lake in early Spring, we should ask him if we can join him on the lake review.
    • Steve also reviews the lake in early June, we should have an idea of our thoughts on the lake prior to his review and again ask to ride with him.
    • Is there a later review date? We should make sure we know Steve’s schedule.
    • request the history of individual owner treatment plans

 

  • Zebra Mussel posting: Laura reached out to Chris re new info to post on the website. Meg sent to Melissa to post the new info on the website.
