COMMITTEE REPORTS
Bogs/Water Level
Due to the lack of rain, the water level is low. There are beaver dams in the Thoroughfare which may be inhibiting the
flow of water out of Lake Alexander. No action will be taken at this time.
Aquatic Vegetation/Water Quality:
Secchi disc readings, to determine the water clarity, are continued to be taken through October. Water clarity seems to
be good. Treated areas of the Eurasian water milfoil show no evidence of matting on or near the surface.
Fisheries:
Bob Andersen was appointed the Chairman of the Fisheries Committee. Bob will contact the DNR Area Fisheries Supervisor
to gain information as to their stocking and survey actions. Jim Lilienthal is retiring as the DNR Area Fisheries Supervisor
as of January 1, 2008, and will be a resident of Lake Alexander.
Land Use/Planning and Zoning:
Chuck Schiemo will be the Chairman of this committee. As reported at the annual meeting, there may be as many as 60% of
septic systems outside of current standards, A suggestion was received that property owners should be encouraged to have their
septic systems pumped at a minimum of every three years to protect the water quality of the lake;
