UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. Status of Rehabilitation Management and ongoing projects
Greg described how he, Dennis, and Tom Z removed a large bog from the Durham
launch channel. There were four steel posts protruding from the lake bottom that had
held the former telephone pole barrier structure. These obstructions were marked with
caution tape. A couple days later Greg assembled the post retractor device on the lake
district boat and he and Tom Z removed 3 of the posts that evening. The following day
Tom Z and his assistant Sam removed the fourth post. Greg reported that he found
another post in that area this past weekend.
Tom Z reported that he and Sam installed the Tuffboom debris catching structure at the
dam outlet channel. They removed the utility poles and left the cut-up poles in a pile
along the woodlands on the DNR land adjacent to the dam. Two wings of the Tuffboom
structure are attached to poles in the lake and each are marked with hazard buoys. The
“land” end is attached to a post on one side and a tree on the other. The next step is to
purchase a structure for the Durham channel.
2. Restoration project for conservancy lands in Bass Bay tributary watershed
Tom Z reported that a portion of Moorland Park that will be planted as prairie is being
farmed by Basse’s until fall of 2010. The remaining portions of Moorland Park and the
City-owned Candlewood outlot were sprayed with roundup to kill the existing vegetation.
More herbicide and burning of vegetation are planned before seeding in fall of 2010.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Discuss/recommend agenda items for annual meeting
Len Pilak suggested that a copy of the 2008 annual meeting agenda would have been
helpful in planning this year’s. Tom Z asked commission members to think of any
needed projects that should be discussed in front of the District attendees. Greater
budgeting for geese was discussed which transitioned to the next agenda item.
2. Recommend budget for annual meeting.
Tom Z presented this draft budget:
