• Jon Tank updated members on the drainage pond. Jon has reached out to the city of Buffalo multiple times inquiring what the plan is moving forward. The LID has repeatedly stated that many lake Pulaski home owners have contacted the board demanding something be done. The LID had Craig Bovey, from Wenck Associates, send a letter regarding the storm ponds. The city responded and essentially feel there aren’t any negative or harmful issues with the pond and therefore are not planning on dredging or doing anything else with the pond at this point. LID members plan to schedule a meeting to discuss future plans to try and make improvements regardless of the city’s stance at this time.
