- The meeting was called to order by Judie Rose. Judie asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the 2008 annual meeting. Motion by Allan Malerich to approve the minutes, seconded by Dan Abramoski. Motion carried.
- Lake Level: Bill Jundt reported that the lake level as of today is 964.05. That is 2 feet below flood stage. The LID pump was rebuilt. The insurance company paid 424,000 to rebuild it. This pump is on reserve.
- Budget: Kathryn reported that last year’s budget was $33,500. The LID has $97,875 in savings. Over the next five years, $70,000 will be paid to the city to assist with the Pulaski road renovation. Motion to approve the proposed budget was made by Clayton Johnson, seconded by Allan Malerich. Motion carried. Kathryn stated that if we are ever able to treat the weeds, the budget will increase. That is why the budget is only $30,000.
- Milfoil: As of now, the LID cannot get a permit to spray around the lake. You can purchase private spraying for your property. The DNR requested a certified GPS survey mapping of the lake telling the growth uniform from lake to lake. They want season to season, year to year tracking of the growth.
- Water Clarity: The Seechi reading is at 14-21 feet.
- Website: Theresa Sweeney introduced the website. www.lakepulaski.com is reserved. Scott Winter designed the site and showed us what the finished site was going to look like. The framework is set up, now it just need content. The site will include water clarity readings, lake level updates, fishing resources, advertizing, lake maps, meeting minutes, history of the lake, boating rules and regulations, news and events.
The administrator of the site will have a password to log-on offering them access to the site to make changes and additions as needed.
There will be a section to contact us sending a private email to the board. We are also looking for past pictures showing the history of the lake that we can add to the site. The board would like to have this up and running by mid September.
There will also be a link to the chamber and city websites.
- New Business:
- The board wants to get the storage unit that is being rented cleaned out and organized. There are bins of paperwork from past meetings that can be minimized. The historical paperwork will be offered to the Wright County Historical Society if they want it.
- Ice Cream Social is August 30th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm.
- Zebra mussels are becoming more of a problem in surrounding lake. Lake Pulaski needs to be aware of them and watch for them.
- Elections: Judie Rose was re-elected for another 3 year term. Theresa Sweeney was newly elected. Welcome Theresa to the board.
Thank you Greg Hules for your years of service as our weed man.
Motion to adjourn the meeting by Clayton Johnson, seconded by Allan Malerich. Motion carried, meeting adjourned at 8:10 pm by Judie Rose.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol M. Busse
