Eric Olsen discussed the Lake (water) condition and how the landing and run-off affect water quality. Eric discussed the DNR Grant program requirements and time tables. It was decided not to apply for a planning grant at this time. Some of the planning cost could be covered by another LLPA project in the planning stage
Rocky Raymond discussed their proposal to do a site evaluation for a cost of $3,000 which was followed by discussion and established project scope limitations.

A motion was made by Romsos, second by Haessig to recommend that the Town join with LLPA and cost share (50/50 basis) the initial planning phase by SEH Inc. Motion carried. The changes/improvements to the Town property surrounding the Town Hall and Boat landing specified in the motion would serve the following 4 goals of the Town Comprehensive Plan.
1. Improve mitigation to preserve the quality of the Lake.
2. Serve as a demonstration site, for future lakeshore (watershed) improvements.
3. Possibly adding to or improving the parking areas for the boat landing.
4. Such project would be aesthetically pleasing to the site.
Chairman Austin will create a document to forward to the Long Lake Town Board with the Planning Commission’s recommendations and an offer to facilitate the project if so desired.
David Haessig gave us an update on the changes in the County Board structure and various new committee assignments.
