Committee Reports:
Fundraising: The last fundraising letter of the year will be sent out this month to those residents in the watershed who have not already contributed this year to MLIF. The Fall Newsletter will be included in the mailing. Stormwater Drainage Project (SDP): The Third Lane Stream restoration bids came in very high. A meeting was held with Town officials in October to discuss the path forward. References for the low bidder will be checked. One option is to do a portion of the project this year and complete it next year. As of November 3, all the references for the low bidder had not responded so we could not move forward.
Lake Management: Aquatic Control Technologies (ACT) is proposing the same treatments for 2015 with a slight cost ncrease. The 2015 contract was approved contingent upon us receiving ACT’s 2014 year-end report per our contract with them.
Spillway/Drawdown: We will not do a drawdown this year because we need water for the suction dredging project.
Old Business:
Anne S. Richardson Grant: The project has been revised so that we will not be using the huge de-watering bags. Aquacleaner Environmental will do suction harvesting instead. The work actually began on October 24 and may take another six weeks. The revised project will enable a much larger area of the lake to be cleaned.
