Annual Meeting Minutes
June 12, 2010
The meeting was called to order by President Frank Catalano at 10:12 AM. 18 members were present.
President’s Report – President Catalano started by reviewing the mission of the FLW which is maintenance of lake water quality. Issues of seasonal/year round property status and taxes are not within the mission’s scope.
The lake milfoil survey was conducted June 17 and there is a bumper crop this year. He discussed doing an earlier treatment with Aquatic Control and they said that they need to wait to have enough surface area of weed to have the treatment make contact and be effective. The treatment is planned for July 23. Some markers have been placed and people are encouraged to make and place markers to warn boaters and to identify infested areas. Members asked if a larger area could be treated and the response is that the DEP only permits a certain number of areas for treatment. The current chemical does not kill the root of the plant and members asked if an alternative chemical could be explored. Aquatic Controls will review an alternative treatment. Frank will also talk to Greg Bugbee of the Agricultural Experiment station.
Steve Looby was successful in obtaining funding from the town for the 2011 treatment and it was noted that we have a good relationship with the Town and receive their financial support each year.
