Discussion/ Public Comment/ Questions
a) Mike Hilber talked about the need for a district is because local entities of government will not get involved with the lake issues. The district needs to ask them for support and to get involved with the lake resource .
b) Wayne Lustoff wanted to thank the outgoing members for their service and stated that Ham Lake is involved as they are looking into doing a septic survey of the homes around the lake.
c) Mike Gaynor also wanted to thank the outgoing members for their service. He also wondered if there was anything being done in the way of prevention of the invasive weeds.
d) Josh Sturman stated that there are other areas that people can get involved with like water quality. Mike Bury stated that the district was formed to take care of the invasive weeds in the lake once the weeds are under control then we can look into areas.
e) Ward Shultz asked if buoy’s could be set up in areas that have weeds so boats can avoid them. Dave Koenig said that it has been tried before in other lakes and it just attracted boats that were curious about what they were for.
f) Doug Tierney talked about how the city has gotten involved with water runoff problems.
