Amy was not able to make the meeting due to a conflict but was able to provide a Treasurer’s report prior to meeting.  There were no major expenses other than a payment to WSB for the carp project.    

Tim kicked off the meeting discussing the unseasonably warm weather and the official ice out for 2024 being 3-3-2024.  This has created an opportunity to conduct treatment sooner than was expected.  Tim has already reached out to our treatment provide PLM Services and Melissa Bokman with Scott County Watershed Management Organization to coordinate an updated plan and will have updates soon on dates and times to move forward.    

Tim advised he has reached out again to Brian Vlach at Three Rivers again to follow-up on cost sharing for lake treatment.  He still has not heard anything back from him.

The annual meeting, is scheduled for Monday, April 8, 2024 at the New Prague Fire Station.  Dave Nielsen’s term will be ending this year and he will be leaving.  Tim Schroeder’s and Amy Gallagher’s terms will be ending next year.  We need new volunteers to replace them.  John is going to update the Website and Facebook with a note on this for recruitment purposes.   In preparation for the meeting Tim is reaching out to Amanda Shupe with Scott County for mailing labels and Paul is reaching out to Suel Printing for the postcards.  Tim is also reaching out to Melissa Bokman with Scott County Watershed Management Organization to see who else may be able and want to participate. 

Paul provided an update on the Carp project with WSB.  Our prior contact Jordan Wein has left WSB and his replacement is Tony Havranek.  Tony had advised that we are still on for spring seining before the end of May. 

John provided an update on the website and in that he is getting some updates on technical issues he has been experiencing with posting pictures and postings in general.  More to follow on this issue when he has more details to share. 

The meeting adjourned via motion from Tim Schroeder and seconded by Dave Nielsen.  The next meeting is the annual meeting set for April 8th at 6:30 pm at the New Prague Fire Station.
