It was suggested that we hire additional operators. East shore residents said that harvesting was not done on a timely basis in there area.  Aaron suggested a more direct form of communication with Mike Ross to inform him of areas in the lake that need to be harvested. It was also stated that there was additional down-time due to repairs on the harvester. The board requested a copy of the maintenance check list that it used each time the harvester is used and throughout the harvesting season.  The AMC will follow up with the water testing by Randy Brehmer by checking the DNR website for the testing results.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

PHASE II & III– The board did not receive information regarding engineering firms who would do the septic testing.  Research regarding exactly what kind of testing needs to be done to the septic and holding tanks before we can request bids from engineering companies.  Dick will call Robert E Lee Engineering firm to get a list of the specifications for the tests.
