Eric Hohman reported on the Aquatic Invasive Species status. Herbicide treatment was completed and cost was $55244. A point intercept survey needs to be done every 5 years, however it has been 6 ½ years since we have done the survey. This survey is done in two parts, half during peak curlyleaf pondweed growth time (June) and the other half during peak everything else time. Motion carried to pay our share of $3448 with the Water Shed District covering the other half of the cost. A meandering survey also was scheduled but the water was already too green to be able to do this effectively so it was dropped for this year saving the proposed cost of $2616.00. An intensive search for Eurasian watermilfoil at the boat landings will be done in August-September. Motion carried to pay this cost of $4,756.24
