Committee Reports:

A. Water Quality (Kim, Bill, Glen) –

1 Norm reported back from the meeting with the county. They approved our request for $1000 for water testing. Jeff Bredberg will now take it to the May 6 meeting and we should have a problem securing the funds.

2 Norm will check on obtaining the containers for water testing. He will contact Glen to see if he has any or if we need to get them.

3 When we have the first real rain event, several people should go with to do the testing, so they know how to do it.

4 Kim got a call about putting the boards in by Lawler Creek damn. He suggested we talk to Skip Wright about redoing the damn, as water is going around it. We want the boards to be put it and will volunteer time to help fix it. Norm will call and check on this.

5 Water Legacy Act – Beth looked into this and got our name on the list. They will send information to Beth. Since we are monitoring already, and that is part of the program, we just will wait to see what information they send out.

B. Events (Beth) –

1 Garage Sale will be May 10. Beth will put advertisement in the paper. She will derive around on the day of the sale to count the numbers of participates. She will talk to people and collect some data on the day of the sale. Kim suggested we advertize on the roads leading to eagle Lake. Bill suggested we advertize at the Eagle Lake Country Store – he will contact them. Norm has a sign to donate. Dave and Kim will create some signs.

C. Membership (Dan, Dick) –

1 Second tier list – some people are already on the membership list. If we add the second tier people, then our percent of memberships could possible drop. Decided to ask them to the list, but star them in a separate list, so we know who they are. They will be added for the May membership mailing.

D. Newsletter (Tammy) –

1 Discussed making a smaller event page and having all 4 events listed on one page. Added a back to back page for advertizing for West Central Sanitation for recycling around the lake. Put a small box with information on the CARD group.

2 Get to printer ASAP

Old Business:

1. Ice Clean up – Glen, Kim and Matt Schroeder talked to fishermen and suggested they pick up their trash earlier third year. After the DNR were on the lake it seemed to be better. Too late to actually clean up now.

New Business:

1. Garage Sale Ad – Beth will advertize and Dan will pay the bill.

2. Eagle Lake Pit – CARD group – Dave and Bill attended a meeting. CARD is out of money. They want to do an appeal, so meeting with attorney to see if it is worth it. They need about $4000 more as the attorney charges $175 per hour. The group is not currently working with Skip Wright from DNR. Kim noted the bard previously was approached by CARD. We discussed that a small section be put in the newsletter, so people know who to contact if interested in supporting or have questions for the CARD group. Individuals can support CARD, but we felt the Board should be neutral.

3. Bank Automatic Withdrawal – Board suggests not worth the time, effort, hassle and confidentially to do for such a small amount of money for membership.

4. Eagle Lake Store – Bill will put up a sign for the garage sale and the annual picnic.

New Mission Statement:

Meeting Adjourned: There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:40.

Next Meeting: 7:00 PM on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at Dave & Tammy Knapper’s (5546 CO rd 9 NE, 231-0893)

Respectfully submitted,

Tammy Knapper, Secretary
