Total revenues are projected to reach $29,550, which consist mainly of resident fees for various services. Those fees are $80.00 for On Lake Properties and $35 for Off Lake Properties. Total expenditures are projected to decrease by 24% or $26,000. This is due to the reduction in the project for weed control. Lastly, the 2019 Fund Balance is expected to reach approximately $91,000 and includes no increase in resident fees. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF ANNUAL MEETING - August 22, 2017 Tom Kies made a motion to approve. Leonard Pilak seconded; motion carried. DEPUTY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT REGARDING STATUS OF LAKE Deputy Commissioner Burmeister reported the following: • Weed and algae growth has been the worst in 15 years. There has been an explosion of Eurasian Milfoil; Starry Stonewort is present where the Eurasian Milfoil isn't. The Milfoil continued to grow through the winter. The Starry Stonewort is prolific in protected shallow areas. This is a major change from the previous year. This may be due to very little wind events and rainfall. • Two osprey and two eagles were fledged. • Fishing has been light because of the condition of the lake. Next year, the DNR plans to do a comprehensive fish survey of the lake. In addition to that, the DNR did a large plant survey this year.
