Special Board Meeting: The purpose of the meeting was to determine what amount MLIF was going to supplement the Richardson Fund grant for the northwest end of the lake project. MLIF received a grant from the Richardson Fund for this project. We needed to know our financial limit for this project before we could move forward. Other decisions on the project needed to be made so the Inland Wetlands application could be completed by mid-August. The concept is for the Inland Wetland Board to consider and, hopefully, approve the application in September and have the work done in October.
The two approaches to removing the dead organic matter from the lake were discussed: using large machines and suction dredging/harvesting. Information included positives and difficulties with each method. It was decided that we would make a contribution from our contingency fund to supplement the Richardson Grant for the removal of dead organic matter from the lake.
