Salute to the flag
Minutes: for Sept 3rd & 17th approved.
Grant/Carp/Carp Gate:
It looks positive for the grant for the carp gate. The gate and carp are approved. The DEC requested an additional permit Article RFD15. After the paperwork is completed, the DEC approves it and the contracts are signed, then the bidding process starts. Work on the carp gate would be next year in the Fall of 2016. The lake needs to be drained at the end of the season in order to install the gate. Carp would be introduced into our lake in the Spring of 2017.
