Water Quality: To obtain additional information relative to what may or may not have happened to the weevil population in the lake, Chuck has communicated with the scientist in Middlebury, Vermont who discovered the weevil as a way to control Eurasian Milfoil. Chuck has explained what appears to have happened and what weather and other forces may have contributed to the decline in population and is awaiting a response. Discussion followed regarding the original guarantee by EnviroScience, which was for four years, and the possibility that another agreement with them may be necessary and a special assessment sought if further treatment was necessary. It was concluded that before any further action is taken a better understanding of what may have happened was necessary.
Chuck agreed to approach EnviroScience regarding a new lake survey in the spring to determine if the weevil population has improved before we make any decision on additional action.
Chuck presented the status of the Sewer Feasibility Study being done by the Township based on the last Township meeting on August 31 which he and Doug attended. A map was available showing the proposed route to serve the three lakes of Cora, Three Mile and Eagle with an explanation of possible alternate routes should one or more lakes opt out of the project while one or more choose to go forward with the construction. Another map showed specific routing around Eagle Lake. Considerable discussion followed regarding the overall concept, routes to be utilized and various complexities of the endeavor. Board Members were made aware the any vote to go forward after the feasibility study would be based on a percentage of the acreage owned by any individual owner while the connection fee and construction costs would be born equally based on Residential Equivalent Units. In other words, a large property owner affected by the project could carry considerable weight for or against any future construction of a sewer system. Anyone interested in attending the next Township meeting is welcome.
Newsletter: Doug reported that the Newsletter prepared by him and Chuck and approved by the Board via email had been mailed on August 29. Two Hundred and forty eight newsletters were mailed and to date only four had come back undeliverable. In the future “Return Service Requested” will be shown on the address page of our mailings so that when the recipient has moved they will come back to us for re-mailing to the correct address rather than the Post Office forwarding them and our not being aware of the recipients new address.

Next Meeting Date: The next meeting of the Board was scheduled for October 10, 2006 at the Conference Center.
