The meeting was called to order at 8:25 P.M. by Chairman Wayne
Salentine. Also present were Lake District Commissioners Hilt
and Sanders, Deputy Commissioners Robert Klenz, Tony Tobin,
Leslie Proeber, Frank Switala and Leonard Pilak. Lake District
Commissioners Dumke and DeAngelis appeared late due to the public
hearing being held by the Natural Resource Committee, chaired by
Representative Spence Black of Madison, for the purpose of
obtaining citizen input in regarding to the environmental impact
that the siting of landfills is having on the City of Muskego.
Chairman Salentine requested the Secretary to read the minutes of
the Annual Meeting held August 27, 1986. Mr. Klenz moved to
accept the minutes correcting the second paragraph to read "Mr
Klenz in lieu of Deputy Commissioner Klenz". Seconded by Deputy

Deputy Commissioner Proeber gave an update on the ownership
status of Big Muskego Dam. The State is responsible for
obtaining clear title to all properties before the dam becomes
the responsibiity of the City. Mr. Tom Repischak advised that he
has not been contacted regarding title to his property.
A discussion was held on the carp complaint for Big Muskego
Lake. Deputy Commissioner Proeber stated that less than five
years ago we had a ninety percent winter kill which was due to a
severe winter and low water table. Kathy Aron from the Wind Lake
Management District stated that she felt that many of the garbage
fish survived the winter kill. Deputy Commissioner Robert Klenz
stated that out of the 1,000 fish that ended up on the shoreline
only one percent were game fish, most were carp.
A discussion was held on determining authority as to maintaining
water level of the Dam. Chairman Salentine advised the Committee
that several times Bert had raised or lowered the dam and upon
checking the following day, it had been altered. Chairman
Salentine stated that he had spoke to the State regarding the
management of the dam and that before the transfer takes effect, the State will prêpare a management plan that will address
maintaining water level and also locking of the dam. Concerns
were voiced regarding the correct level of the Dam. Deputy
Commissioner Leslie Proeber stated that the Army Corps of
Engineers have set the levels, and that they can not be changed
arbitrarily.
Deputy Commissioner Klenz requested that Deputy Commissioners be
notified if any sewage would be emptied into the creek at Sandy
Beach Road.

Deputy Commissioner Proeber alerted the Commissioners of the
Scenic Urban Waterway Program, sponsored by Senator Adelman,
whereby the State would grant money to communities in the
watershed area, such as Big Muskego Lake. This particular
program was part of the Governor's veto in the Budget Bill, but
both Senator Adelman and Representative David Lepak will be
working to reinstate that program.
Chairman Salentine gave an update on the proposed Emerald Park
landfill. He explained that he will be working with the Governor
to try to come up with language that the Governor will accept and
there is also a possibility of overriding the Governor's veto.
The Deputy Commissioners discussed the mandatory water testing at
an estimated cost of $2,600 per test. This is a Federal
Government ruling for lakes and streams to determine what is
polluting lakes and to help protect the lakes. Deputy
Commissioner Leonard Pilak moved to request that the Emerald Park
Landfill Negotiating Committee incorporate into the contract that
the landfill assist in providing future funds for the testing
program in the amount of $10,400. Seconded by Leslie Proeber,
