OLD BUSINESS:
J. Peterson stated that Kandiyohi County has agreed NOT to purchase a sweeper for the Green Lake area. The agreement is that Kandiyohi County will sweep the roads eight (8) times during the summer period.
NEW BUSINESS:
J. Pederson asked for discussion about the fishing of Green Lake being walleye vs. Bass.
J. Pederson stated this should be an ecological issue of equal rather than one item or another. Rather than start a committee of “Fishing” the Board felt it should be handled by the Water Quality/DNR Committee.
It was suggested that J. Pederson and G. Broman meet with the new Board of Directors of the Middle Fork Crow River Water Shed District prior to our May meeting.
