Northland will also assist with potential grant monies available. Lake surveys should be done every five years. Next newsletter needs to be out by May so the June lunch reservation cards can be sent out at that time. The YLRA will be participating in the July 4 th Webster Parade and June 29 th Danbury Parade. NEW BUSINESS Information was received from Bone Lake on the disadvantages of harvesting/cutting of weeds such as Curly weed, which allows other invasive weeds to move in. Using herbicides VS harvesting has long term benefits in cleaning the lake and improving water quality, however, the costs can be 6 times higher over harvesting. More research and information forth coming.
A thank you letter was received from Union Township recognizing our donation of $10,000 towards the narrows bridge project. At this time there is no details on the type of bridge or time line to complete this project. Suggestion made to purchase/rent large bill boards advertising our Association, check on cost information forth coming. We received some initial cost information on dredging on Little Yellow just west of the Narrows bridge from Big Yellow. It would cost approximately $135,000 to dredge, but further bids will be looked at. Meeting adjourned 1035 hrs Respectfully Submitted Robert Schnickel - Secretary
