1. Lake Quality - Dede reviewed the meeting with Allied Biological; the board discussed volunteering their time to hand pull the water chestnuts. It was noted that these weeds are located in visible clumps, mostly along the shoreline, and can be hand pulled with kayaks and boats.

John asked about the broken lock on the portosan at Jackson Beach. Dede explained that she contacted the company and it was supposed to be serviced already; she will call the company once again and advise. Regarding beach ID bracelets, the lifeguards were advised to start checking for them in July. A new discussion continued regarding geese waste on the beaches.

Geese waste is picked up and removed from both beaches daily before swimmers arrive.
