[The process of setting up a lake district is lengthy. WLR has begun the process as follows: A tentative Map for the district was drawn up and given to the City of Weyauwega, Mike Koles has been contacted for help with the process.  Mike Koles will be scheduling an informational meeting for the Township boards of Weyauwega and Royalton and the City Board of Weyauwega along with any interested citizenry. This meeting will most likely take place in March or April. After that meeting boundaries for the lake district will be determined. A petition process to all property owners within the boundaries will follow that. 51% of the property owners must approve. If all goes well, the proposed lake district goes to the county board who will appoint a committee to determine if the lake district is of enough benefit to the residents within the lake district.  The county board committee has two months to gather their information and present it to the county board. The county board then has 6 months to make their determination to approve or reject the Lake District. This process will take 2 years.]
