Annual Report for 2010: Beaches and Docks
Presented at Annual Meeting on
January 28, 2011
1) Beach clean
up brought out about 40 residents on May 8 to prepare beach for Memorial Day
weekend.
2) With help from Ken Heiden, the float line at the main beach was replaced with
a new line. Original floats were spliced
in.
3) The floating dock at the east beach
was replaced with Connect-a-dock components like those of the two diving
platforms.
4) Badges and related swimming and
boating rules and safety recommendations distributed to all residents
5) Throughout the summer, the beach was
much tidier than in some past years.
6) No beach closings; all weekly water
tests were in desirable ranges
7) Only one algaecide treatment was
necessary during the summer
8) Weed growth on the east and west
sides of the lake nearest the breeder pond continued to be a problem. Two
applications of herbicide were necessary to suppress weeds.
9) The lagoon was dredged in late
November with the spoils being dumped in the ball field. The bank adjacent to
Trails End (input end of the lagoon) was seriously eroded with a gully running from
the road into the lagoon. This was rebuilt with rock-filled earth, clay, and a
layer of large riprap. Large stones were placed along the road to alert
drivers. After the ground thaws,
reflectors will be put in place also.
10)
Skating
safety instructions were distributed in late December.
