OLD BUSINESS – REPORTS
4. Presidents Project Overview Report: (Bob Van Epps (BM)) Project is going well. Bob Reports a Fox Valley Tech source for lake burn. The details and cost are to be worked out later. Van Epps cautioned this is in the planning stages and open for discussion. Members brought up using the local fire department. Quimby had already approached local fire fighters for their willingness to handle the burn for a training class. Bob will follow up with the Weyauwega Volunteer Fire Chief. The sediment on the lake is baked hard. The plants in the lake will either be burned off or will drown. Van Epps reported NAH has not gotten back on the drawdown extension. All requested documentation has been delivered to NAH.
5. Rules Committee: A committee has been formed to define the rules that will apply to the use of the lake. The committee tentatively consists of: Jim Tolfa(Chair) - Kent Gerard and Ron Wiesman.
6. Fundraising Committee: (Jim Tolfa (BM) – Bob Radtke) Bob Van Epps reporting for Bob Radtke Please get the tickets back to Bob now so he can try to sell them from the bar. Jim Tolfa reported he would like the raffle moved to a date later in the year – after the Horse and Buggy days maybe the first week in October. He gave the reasons of the number of events that offer opportunities to sell tickets in the surrounding communities. This will be given another look next year. Bob Van Epps, tickets are now beginning to sell well. The drawing is this Sunday, August 13th.
7. Education Committee: (Bob Van Epps (BM) Lynn Ponto – Connie Abert) No report
8. Grant Committee: (Holly Martin (BM) – Caroline Zemple(BM)) No report
9. Lake Reclamation Committee: (Holly Martin (BM)Justin Sipiorski – Doug Nelson – Kaycie Stushek) A conference call was held with Martin and Nelson, (Sipiorski, Stushek and Johnson were unable to attend and sent regrets, the have been updated on the results of the call) to nail down a plan for pro-active planting. Troubled areas of the lake were identified and appropriate plantings were determined giving thought to future partial drawdowns and cost to plant. A Shoreline and Emergent planting recommendations were completed for home owners that would stabilize the shore and be esthetically pleasing while surviving the future partial drawdowns. The plan will now go to Ted Johnson and Justin Sipiorski for approval with attention to improving habitat for endangered species and fish populations.
10. City Projects Steering Committee: (Howard Quimby) Reported he had a meeting with Bill Forest on Aug 7th to determine the standing of the the permits needed to complete the rip rap project and the boat launches. The rip rap permit was approved by the DNR on August 3rd and is now in the hands of the City for 300 feet of shoreline along Peterson Park. Both boat ramp permits were approved August6th and are in the mail. Quimby reports and Bill Forest is in touch with the Bass club who are to assist the city with the financial costs of the boat launch repairs. Gerard brought to the attention of the group the need to take pictures before, after and during the repairs for documentation purposes.
11. Other Don Morgan brought his concerns relating to the people down river want to be made whole. What do they mean by that? He cautioned against any efforts other than that of the DNR to address this issue actively.
Don Morgan: Is there any merit in having a picture of the new river channel? He has a pilot that will take the picture for $100. Bob Van Epps already has pictures from the county that are high resolution satellite pictures and the club has aerial pictures given to them that were taken 6 month apart during the drawdown.

REPORTS
DNR Report: Ted Johnson - Draw down has gone well. The bottom was mostly muck and anaerobic conditions did not allow muck to be digested, this has been improved. Pre drawdown markers for lake bed were taken via GPS. They will be taken again to determine new level of the lake bottom, and success of the project. Plant samples were taken with 3 identified. This is expected to improve when the pond refills. Flowering Rush has two states: Sub-mergent and Emergent. Ted Johnson feels even though it is taking over the lake bed, this is not a big problem and recommends a wait and see position.
Trip downstream(below the dam): River systems below an impoundment are starved for nutrients and have a tendency to broaden and become shallow. The drawdown has corrected this with the new river channel being narrower and deeper with the water moving faster. This has caused major silt deposits along shorelines and the choking off of backwater areas, this is to be expected and is a sign of health. We did not lose any fish due to the drawdown, and the river bed is back to a normal narrower state.
Public comment: We have lots of muck build up that is seen as damage to property.
Question: Is there a benefit to leave it down another winter? All the sediment has gone down but all in all not much benefit. A cold winter will affect Asian milfoil by freezing them out – this is a positive gain.
Golden Sands: Kaycie Stushek: She works on aquatic invasive species. They do surveys of invasive species by identifying and mapping colonies. Technical assistance and training is also provided by Golden Sands. They are also willing to do workshops on: “How to monitor invasive species”, “How to remove invasive species” and “Clean Boats, Clean Water” program. Unfortunately there is no way to remove Zebra Mussels. Zebra Mussels are again under study for impact on the environment.
A slide show of pictures of the drawdown were presented.
NAH: Jeremy Classy: New ownership was announced. NAH has split into two companies, we will still be dealing with the same people as before. The drawdown was planned and orchestrated by a number of agencies including but not limited to: FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) and the DNR. Our Permit is up the 23ed of September, to extend the time the lake is down will need to be approved by the participating agencies and the public..
Question: are there Minimum and Max flow rates. Answer: Not sure exactly what they are but there are levels that must be adhered to.
City of Weyauwega: Don Morgan. All permits are in to the DNR. Two boat landing repairs and extensions, shoreline riprap.
DISCUSSION ON ISSUE OF DRAWDOWN EXTENSION
a. Should the lake be kept down until May 1st.
Comments by the board – Each board member gave their reasons for supporting or not supporting extending the drawdown until May 1 (The first day the DNR will allow the lake to be brought back up due to the turtles) All board members were in favor of the extension with the exception of Martin.
Ted Johnson. You will always have to manage plants, the drawdown will not eliminate this issue.
Howard Quimby: Can we do a controlled burn this fall to remove the dead weed debris and prevent it from insulating the unwanted seeds improving the winter freeze benefit? Answer Ted Johnson (DNR) This is a good idea, not now but in the fall. He will look into it and let us know how best to proceed.
Public Input:
Mary Livens: The River is so full of sediment Fish are dying and the turtles are gone.
Jay Heckler: Deep muck! It is so deep he almost lost his dog. He brought pictures.
Kathy Lodes : Wanted to be empowered. Has voiced her concerned wants lake back up
Tom O,Day: Not happy with river frontage – Tons of muck. Wants people made whole. Comment by Ted Johnson in response – He will look into what needs to be done to remove the massive amount of muck at this junction of the river. There may be some remediation the DNR can offer.
Joel Bohringer: wants to keep it down for the additional 9 months.
Tom ODay: Can we go back to “peeking” running of the Dam to scour the river bed clean of muck. Jeremy Classy comment: The federal policy is “Run of the River” and that is not likely to change.
Vote taken by Show of hands
Leave it down till May 1st - 23
Leave it down till September - 4
The Lake will remain down until May 1st if the FERC and DNR agree.

3. Report on Lake Plants and their impact on the lake by Doug Nelson - Motion Tolfa second Gerard to put this on the agenda.
Wet meadow and shallow marsh plants will erupt first. We will most likely need Lily pads in shallow areas, this will block light and prohibit other more undesirable plants while providing cover for fish . Submergent vegetation will help with fish food and nutrient loading. We could also add bull rushes to shallow areas. Native plants American lotus will compete against milfoil seed. Were some of the recommendations by Mr. Nelson.
4. Fundraising: Steve Thomas. Of the tanning spa will have another cookout and April 27-29 Jim Tolfa will sell brats.

3. Report on Lake Plants and their impact on the lake by Doug Nelson - Motion Tolfa second Gerard to put this on the agenda.
Wet meadow and shallow marsh plants will erupt first. We will most likely need Lily pads in shallow areas, this will block light and prohibit other more undesirable plants while providing cover for fish . Submergent vegetation will help with fish food and nutrient loading. We could also add bull rushes to shallow areas. Native plants American lotus will compete against milfoil seed. Were some of the recommendations by Mr. Nelson.

a. Archeological
Study- Draft Reprot We have the draft, Dave W.
brought the final Report to be posted on the Web site.
b. Mapping
Lake Bottom - Plans are moving forward for
mapping the lake bottom. This is important information we will not have another
chance to map. Of most import are the springs at the west end of the lake where
the islands are.
c. Islands and
Wildlife Sanctuary: In a meeting with the City, Scott Koehnke indicated
that it is illegal to fire a gun within 500 feet of an Eagle nest. The area by the islands Scott also stated were
fu springs and a feeder creek (Whiskey Creek) that kept the area marshy. This may
be a good setting for a managed sanctuary. When the lake bottom is mapped, this
area will need careful consideration. Islands – Plan for improving 1.
Groups who are interested in projects around the this wildlife sanctuary
Organization Committee to form: 2.
Sediment pond location and operation if necessary:
d. Lake
refuse cleanup Bob V. The cleanup will be after
the ground is partially frozen so we can get to the areas where the tires are.
Right now they are in boggy soupy areas where you can not walk.
e. Permits
needed to restore lake Bob V. In a discussion with the City Counsel, Scott Koehnke
made clear how permitting will work. Boat
Landings: a
$50 permit and proof of ownership along with a plan. Piers: No permit needed if the
pier will be 6ft wide or less. Rip
Rap: $50
permit. DNR prefers 6” to 24” field stone. Scott also requested that
before anything is done to clear it with his office.
f. City Improvements: The City is planning on
improving and repairing all existing boat launches. They are planning on
extending the pier at the swim beach in Peterson Park so it will also serve as
a fishing pier. The same kind of improvement is being considered for the boat
launch pier on North Lake Street. There is a second canoe launch/portage
planned for the north side of the lake near Mill Pond Circle.
5. Fundraising
Committee Report – Bob R & Jim T.

a. Public Comment – Tom O’Day. Reported to the
group on the condition of the river downstream from the lake. Residents are
becoming concerned by the amount of muck clogging the river. It was the
suggestion of the group that pictures be taken for comparison and to document
the condition of the river bed and the changes that are occurring. Tom asked
that a meeting be set up with a DNR water expert to discuss a remedy for the
river bed.
