Game Fish and Parks Vicki Seager thanked
everyone for a good summer. She
reminded us that state park fees are year round. Anyone docking a boat at the state park must pay the state park
fee. Park fees will go up January 1st. If a sticker is bought now, it is good until
May 2010. She also stated that the stop
signs at the parks are real and they should be abided by. There is a problem with people dumping
household trash and items in the dumpsters at the park. There was also a problem with kids on four
wheelers throwing firecrackers at the park crew.
Steve
Kant brought up some reservations about developing a water project
district. He also stated that he
thought tagging money for the project should have been brought up to the whole
membership at the Annual Meeting.
Robert Todd, Interlakes Water Quality Planning Committee Chairman
reported:
There is money coming from EDWDD and
NRCS along with contributions from other sources including Association
members. It cost $3,500 for a student
from Brookings to do water testing.
Phosphorous is still the main concern in the lake. He explained the areas that it is coming
from. Two other concerns are e-coli and
sediments. There is a monthly meeting the first Thursday
of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Library in Madison. Everyone is invited to attend.
A petition was
circulated to form the water district; 20% of registered voters were required
to sign it. The petition will be
submitted at the March DENR meeting. If
the petition is approved, a meeting must be called within sixty days for
registered voters in the two sanitary districts to vote on the proposal. A budget will be submitted to the County
Auditor and there will be an election after that. There was a suggestion that a flyer explaining the water project
district go out with the membership dues request in February. Matt Larson thanked Steve Kant for coming to
the meeting with questions.
Sheriffs Department
Tim
Walburg from the Sheriffs Department stated that things at the lake were
good this year compared to other years.
There was one boat accident on the lake. He explained that four wheelers must be licensed to be used on
the highways. Golf carts may not to be
used on the highways. He explained that
there may be a reward system or neighborhood watch established. Terry Ryan asked to please let guests know
of the rules on the roads and water.
Adjournment
Director Benson motioned to adjourn at
8:50 P.M. as there was no further business.
Director Graham seconded. Motion
carried.
Respectfully recorded and submitted by:
Michelle Anderson, Secretary
