President’s Report: MLIF signed an agreement with the owners of the spillway regarding use of/access to the spillway.
Committee Reports:
Fundraising: We will combine the next fundraising letter with the newsletter.
Stormwater Drainage Project (SDP): Pond and Lake Connection (PLC) has checked the lake twice. Pierrepont Lake is very happy with the services of PLC.
Three new treatment companies were suggested by a Board member. However, it was noted that we have too tight a timeframe to begin investigating any new companies to hire for next year’s contract.
A motion was passed to hire Pond and Lake Connection for 2016 as long as further review of the contract is acceptable. It was so moved to amend the motion to add the phrase “and that PLC will use fewer chemicals than in the past two years.”
Drawdown and Spillway: The drawdown was started on 10/21, stopped on 10/29, then resumed on 10/31. As of today, the lake is down one foot.
Social Media: It was noted that we are now on FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram.
Lake Clean-up: It was pointed out that the time during the drawdown was a good time for lakeside property owners to clean debris, branches and dead plant material from the lake.
New Business:
Video: idea of a video of the lake using aerial photography was discussed.
