OLD BUSINESS:
G. Anderson discussed the idea of placing stencils on the new road around Green Lake stating to people not to mow their grass or organic material on the roads as it is washed into the storm sewers. Grass has phosphate within it which will end up in Green Lake. Motion by G. Broman, seconded by B. Halgren to purchase 25 stencils at $15.50 each to be put on the road around Green Lake. G. Anderson has discussed the project with the local Boy Scouts who will assist in the project. The Boy Scouts will also hand out information to each home owner about this concern of the GLPOA Board of Directors. Motion carried.
T. Frazee discussed the 2003 Green Lake Directory. We have a total of 884 homes around Green Lake at this time. This information will be taken to the printer within ten days for publication. Colored pictures for the front page are to be sent to G. Anderson.
NEW BUSINESS
By electronic mail, of 12 April motion by G. Broman, seconded by W. Halvorson to donate $1,000.00 of the local DNR to support a project conducting an aerial mapping of the Kandiyohi County wetlands. This project would identify the unrestored wetlands. This would end up as a digital data base that can be used county wide especially for the GLPOA. The data base would be available to the Crow River Middle Fork Water Management Study and other Green Lake planning and developments projects. Total cost of the project is $27,000.00. Motion carried.
