MANAGEMENT OF EURASIAN MILFOIL The committee discussed Steve McComas' proposal for milfoil management projects which would include having him write a newsletter, attend a public informational meeting and hold a lakeside demonstration project.

Approximately 1500 newsletters would need to be mailed out. Additional information will be gathered to determine more accurate costs on printing the newsletter, bulk rates for mailing, etc. This information will be brought to the December meeting. Taping a video segment to play on the community access channel about proper water quality management, proper lawn fertilizer use, etc. was also talked about as a way to inform the public.

He will obtain other quotes to see ifhe can find a more competitive price. - Larson proposed investigating the possibility of sending out a question survey to lakeshore residents about top concerns they have concerning lake issues.
