down 3 weeks ago. They had to shut it down after the 3 inch rain we had.
The second phase opened bids on the 15th. It will cost $368,000. That
phase will start as soon as they get the equipment, possibly before
harvest. The next phase is between Schultz and Wheeler and on the
dump road north of Mike Buer’s farm site. Schultz was down 3 foot before
the rain. They will have to dredge Schultz lake to get to the deepest part
to drain.

There will be no envelopes for dues in the July newsletter. We had to
return 35 dues this year because people double paid. Out of the dues we
received in July, only 6 were new.
We will not join Conservation Minnesota this year. We will join Minnesota
Lakes & Rivers again.
Becky motioned, Mark seconded to allow Harv & Diane to purchase

Discussion was held on possible projects for the Lake Association to
undertake. A new dock on the East side of the lake was discussed. It was
decided not to pursue this project. Paying $50 toward the clean out of
grinders for paid members was discussed on a one-time basis. It was
decided to wait and see what other suggestions we get from dues letters
before a project is undertaken.
