Gary Stewart asked that the board grant him the authority to seek
other volunteers to assist the district deputies on the feasibility
study and perhaps the raising of funds. It was suggested by the
board that any raising of funds be done by an independent group
(non-profit) such as the Little Muskego Lake Association has done.

10:15 P.M., motion seconded by Thomas Van Lanen and meeting
