How Did Watermilfoil Get Into Our Lake? Most likely it hitched a ride... On someone’s boat that was in a different lake that contained the weed. And, this is not just any milfoil, but a hybrid of the native Northern Watermilfoil and the highly invasive Eurasian Watermilfoil. The hybridized aspect of the plant is what makes it exceptionally difficult to control. When did it appear? In the fall of 2016, Clarke Aquatic Services performed a complete lake survey including acoustic mapping to get a clear understanding of the lake’s topography and vegetation densities. Plant samples also taken at the time revealed the plant which looked suspect to Clarke. Samples taken then were not viable for genetic testing so it wasn’t until 2017 that a 12-week testing process verified this was a hybridized variety of milfoil.Next steps. Until the type of plant was confirmed, only contact, or “burn back” herbicide treatments were made to provide recreational and visual relief. With the problem confirmed, prescriptive treatments will begin in late April, the optimal time to treat just as the weed begins to grow. Because of the control difficulty and the pervasiveness of the plant in the lake, treatments will need to be made very methodically over the summer in a series of treatments. The aquatic herbi-cide selected is effective at very low rates – just 10 parts per billion rate. Monitoring will be done between treatments to ensure each successive “bump” application to be adjusted so reset the 10 ppb concentration to achieve the desired results.FAQsWill swimming or fishing be affected? No. The product used works on the photosynthesis of the milfoil by blocking chlorophyll production. Thus is has no impact on people, pets or fish.

Can the treatment affect boats in any way? No. It does not react with any boat surface material or motor parts. How quickly will it work? This is where the patience comes in. This is a slow-acting process to ensure removal of the weed does not drop the oxygen levels so low that a fish kill occurs. The plants will start to die two to three weeks after the first treatment. At 60 days, most all of the watermilfoil should appear stressed out, and by 90 days, should have fallen to the lake bed. Will algae removal continue? Yes. However, as the milfoil dies, nutrients will be freed up creating more favorable conditions for algae.Can residents remove or rake up shoreline plant frag-ments? Yes, removing plant fragments from the shoreline is fine and poses no safety or treatment concerns. Is it ok to cut and remove milfoil? No, cutting and harvesting milfoil should take place for at least 60 days. To all Candlewick residents - Thank you for your understanding as we tackle this invasive, non-native plant. If you are taking your boat to other lakes, please be sure to wash it down well before and after entering any new body of water. About ClarkeWe view water bodies with a long-term perspective and look to sustainable solutions and practices to create healthier bodies of water while meeting the aesthetic and recreational needs of the public. Clarke’s aquatic management services consist of a team of over 50 people bringing seasoned eyes and novel solutions to help preserve and enhance the health and beauty of ponds, lakes and waterways.www.clarke.com

HOLIDAY LIGHTS AND DECORATIONS Please be reminded that Section 14-6 and 14-7 of the Candlewick Lake Association Rules & Regulations and Section 522 and 523 of the ECC/Building Department Rules & Regulations addresses the rules regarding holiday lights and decorations. Since the weather didn’t allow for the removal of lights and decorations by January 10th, the deadline for removal of holiday lights and decorations is March 1st. If you haven’t already done so, please remove all holiday lights and deco-rations. All properties will be checked and if the lights and decorations are still up citations will be issued. No further warning will be issued. Thank you for your cooperation.

PLEASE RETURN YOUR PROXY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING! IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE ESTABLISH A

QUORUM.See article on page 4 for complete instructions.

President’s Prerogativeby Ken Dillenburg, Board President January 24th in a non-unanimous vote, the Board voted to offer the restaurant lease to the Tripolis. Their success will depend upon the support of the Candlewick community. If you truly want a restaurant here, now is the time to show it with your patronage. Candlewick has pulled together in the past as needed for other situations. Let’s do it again. I have been asked in the past about our income from investments. I have said it is not much. We keep your money only in safe investments and anyone trying to purchase government-backed income vehicles will agree, there has been nothing out there with a decent yield for some years now. As I type this, the picture is starting to change. CDs with as little as three-year maturity are now running over two and one half percent. This will be good news for our investment returns going forward. Our annual meeting is to be held March 18th this year. I know I beat the drum on this every year, but it is so

important. Please get those proxies signed and turned in so we can call the meeting to order and conduct the neces-sary business of your association. Without the meeting, the new Board members cannot be seated as well as other important actions. Everyone knows the new tax cut is going into effect this year. Not only individuals will see lower taxes, but corporations will get a huge cut. Top tax rates for corpora-tions will go from 39% to 21%, a drop of 18%. Why am I mentioning this you may ask? It should be a windfall for AQUA, our water and sewer provider. You will recall they have filed for a rate increase. Those ruling on the rate increase request should certainly look at the extra cash AQUA will have and hopefully tell them they need no increase now or for some time. We will see if they truly represent those paying the AQUA bills or special interests. The attendance at the Candidate Forum and Budget Hearing was fair, considering the weather. After listening

to all the candidates, I would like to make one point. I heard a lot about cutting the fat and current overspend-ing. I will be very interested to see our next fiscal year’s budget. We have had one of the most conservative boards as a whole that I have witnessed. I wish the new members a lot of luck cutting. As in most businesses, there are a lot of mostly uncontrollable expenses. The main controllable expense is payroll. Cut payroll without reducing necessary services? We will see. I saw a cartoon in Barrons that reminded me of the Outpost situation. (By the way, an IPO is when a new stock starts trading.) Two guys are talking and one says to the other, “Our IPO has taken so long our business has gone from a chain of preschools to now a chain of nursing homes.” Outpost AD HOC now for THREE YEARS and nothing passed the Board. It will now be the problem of the next Board. Possibly they will move it one way or the other. Time will tell.

7. Board Elections - Statements of Candidacy for

The Truth about the Public Safety Sales Tax Referendum!Vote: March 20, 2018What is the question that has to be answered at the election? To pay for public safety purposes, shall Boone County be authorized to impose an increase in the existing Public Safety Sales Tax of one half (1/2) percent? This would mean that a consumer would pay an additional $0.50 in sales tax for every $100 of tangible personal property bought at retail. 55ILCS 5-1006.5 (a)(1). What is “tangible personal property?” Anything that you buy that can be moved…not real property or land. It generally includes things like comput-ers, furniture, tools, machinery, clothing, jewelry and supplies. Who has to pay this extra tax? Anyone who buys something in Boone County will pay this. That includes those who live in the county and those who do not. What if I don’t buy anything in Boone County? Then you will not pay any of this additional tax. What if I buy things in other counties? If you shop in Winnebago or McHenry counties you are already paying this extra tax. So you are contributing your money to them to use for their safety, not ours. Do I have to pay this tax on everything I buy in Boone County? No. You do not pay this tax on groceries, medicine, including diabetic supplies, farm equipment, cars, boats, motorcycles and services such as labor to fix a car or get your hair cut.Why should I vote YES for this? Money from this referendum will be used to help pay for the safety of the citizens in this county. This money will help pay to operate the jail and courthouse, including

repairs to both of the aging structures, and all activities needed to staff and run the courthouse and training and equipment for the Sheriff’s department. Why is this necessary now? Income from sales tax has been falling for the last decade due to a loss of businesses in the county with few, if any, sustainable businesses to replace them. That coupled with the fact that Boone County receives only 11.64 % of the total amount of taxes while the remainder goes to many other taxing districts with the school districts receiving the largest amount at 64.32 %. The ½% increase in this tax is a way to help increase the funds needed to pay for our safety without having to increase taxes on property owners. What is the General Fund in Boone County? The General Fund is Boone County’s “checkbook.” There are many funds listed in the county budget; however, the general fund is the one that money flows into and from which bills are paid. Just like your check book…there is money that you earn and there are bills to be paid. And, there are times when the balance in your checkbook drops and you have to find other money to build it back up. Boone County’s “checkbook” has been dropping for a decade and we must now find additional money to build it back up. Why should I vote for this if I live in Belvidere? Because the Belvidere police and the Boone County Sheriff are located in the same building, use the same courthouse and all other court activities. Belvidere and Boone County both pay for these services. Money from this referendum must be used in the Boone County jail for sorely needed repairs and maintenance, to help the police forces in our county prevent crimes and prosecute and detain those that have committed them. Vote YES on March 20, 2018 to keep our county safe!

Yard Waste Pick Up Advanced Disposal will start picking up yard waste on April 5, 2018. No Yard Waste Stickers are required this year.

Amenity Usage The Rules and Regulations state that a Candlewick Lake Photo ID Membership Card (Member Card) are required for use of the amenities (pool, golf course, fitness center, gymnasium, and boating and fishing facilities). The rules further state that any Member that is not in good standing shall have their Membership Card privileges suspended until said Member rectifies his/her membership standing. This includes the privileges for all registered Members. The rules do not say that a Member can’t pay the daily fee for use of the amenities. The Board of Directors passed a resolution at the April 21, 2015 Board meeting that any Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House will not be allowed to pay the daily fee to use the amenities if their amenity privileges have been suspended. Additionally, any Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House and are not in good standing they will not be permitted to rent any of the Candlewick Lake facilities.

Denominations of Currency Accepted The Board of Directors passed a policy that limits the amount of currency that will be accepted in various denominations at the office. Following is the maximum amount of currency that will be accepted: Maximum of 25¢ in pennies; maximum of $2.00 in nickels; maximum of $2.00 in dimes; maximum of $3.00 in quarters and maximum of $25.00 in singles.

ROADS ARE POSTED This is just a reminder to all property owners that Candlewick Lake has posted the roads the effective 2/26/18 at 6:00 AM. This is to protect the roads and is determined by weather conditions. Since the weather has started to get warmer, the postings went into effect. Once the frost is out of the ground the postings are lifted, usually between four to eight weeks. Road postings pertain to all vehicles, which include construction and delivery vehicles. If you are planning on making purchase which will require a delivery, please plan accordingly. Order so that your delivery can be made on a truck that will be allowed into CWL. Advise the store that deliveries must be made on smaller trucks. Vehicles and trailers with tandem axles are not allowed access into Candlewick Lake during the postings. The maximum weight of a vehicle with four tires is 7,000 pounds and 18,000 pounds on six tires.

Please Return Your Proxy Forms The Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, March 18, 2018. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please sign and return the general proxy you received in the mail. For the meeting to take place, a quorum consisting of at least 466 members must be present in person or by proxy. If a quorum cannot be established, the meeting must be rescheduled to a future date at which time we must again try to obtain the necessary quorum of mem-bers. The process of sending out another notice is very costly. To avoid this additional cost, we are asking for everyone’s cooperation in helping to obtain a quorum on March 18th. Please encourage your friends and neigh-bors to return their proxies as well. If you have any questions as to how to fill out the proxy, you may call the Administration Office for assistance. Proxies are available at the office if you have misplaced yours. Reminders regarding the proxy: If you are appoint-ing yourself as your proxy holder, you must attend the meeting to be counted. If you are appointing someone else as your proxy holder, they must attend the meeting. Before you appoint someone, verify that they will in fact be attending the meeting, so the proxy may be counted. For the proxy to be valid, it must be properly filled out, signed and dated.

Egg Addling Volunteers Needed If you have a nest with goose eggs on your property, please call the office, and we will put you on a list for our volunteer egg addlers. The volunteers will be going out, starting the end of March/early April depending on the weather, looking for nests with eggs. When they find the eggs, they oil them, thereby prohibiting them from developing. If you remove the eggs yourself, the geese will just lay more eggs. If you give us permission to go on your property, allow us to addle the eggs, you will be helping to improve the water quality of our lake. If we can keep the population of our resident geese down, we will help reduce the nutrients that they bring into our lake. If we can reduce the nutrients, we will have a healthier lake. If you would like to become a volunteer for this project, please call Theresa in the office at 815-339-0500 x 204.

ATTENTION ALL DOG WALKERS Your furry pooch certainly appreciates the wonderful walks that you take them on, but the kids waiting at the bus stops certainly do not appreciate the “gifts” the fur babies leave behind that end up on their shoes in the morning before school. Please be a responsible dog owner and pick up after them. Regardless of whether an area has a house on it, it is NOT acceptable to leave the mess behind. The children and their parents thank you!

Prescribed Burns Please be advised that there will be prescribed burns taking place in all areas of the bio-swales, Friendship Park and Savannah Oaks Golf Course this spring. Please watch the sunshine signs for when dates become avail-able. This work will be scheduled depending on weather and area conditions. Prescribed burns are a safe way to apply a natural process, ensure ecosystem health and reduce wildfire risk. Many of our plant and animal communities are dependent on a regular occurrence of fire for a healthy existence. Prescription burning is appropriate for modifying vegeta-tive communities/structure without the use of herbicides; accelerating nutrient cycling, spring green-up, sprouting, forage availability, modifying soil temperatures; and modifying soil moisture conditions.

News

TO: LAKE FRONT PROPERTY OWNERS RE: GOOSE CONTROL, EGG ADDLING Candlewick Lake Association has become part of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Canada Goose Nest and Egg Destruction Program. This is a program designed to reduce the number of geese that hatch at Candlewick. The program has been a success for the past four years thanks to the Lake Management Committee. The volunteers will start in late March locating the nests. Canada Geese can live up to 8 years and each goose lays approximately 6 – 8 eggs (some may lay as many as 14). Since many of the nests can be on private property and volunteers need to come on to the property to check the nests over the next month, we have asked for permission to be on your property for this program. You are not required to participate, however Canada Geese have become a problem with their overabundance and this program attempts to control population. If you signed a waiver in a previous year, it is still on file and will be considered valid every year until you notify us that you waive your approval. If you did not give us approval last year and would like to participate in the program this year, please complete the bottom and return to the Candlewick Lake Administration Office as soon as possible. Thank you for your participation! I, ____________________________, do hereby attest that I am the owner or authorized agent of the owner of the property(s) described below. I consent to providing CLW and its agents access to this property, at reasonable times and under reasonable conditions, for the purpose of carrying out egg addling through Federal permit. Property Address: Street _______________________ City: Poplar Grove, IL 61065 I understand that this activity may involve several visits to the site to identify nests, monitor egg production and to carry out egg-oiling activities.

Hold Harmless Candlewick Lake Personnel shall hold property owners and agents harmless from and against any and all damage, claims, liability or demands, including costs of defense, for injury to person or property that results directly or indirectly out of the activities hereunder. I agree to waive and release any claims I have against CLA, Inc. for INCIDENTAL damage to my property subject to this license, arising out of the activities contemplated hereunder.

Lake Management

DID YOU KNOW…That the money from the cans collected at the three can bins (Castaway, Highland Valley Green, and the Recreation Center Peninsula) is used for funding projects to benefit both the lake and the community. The funds have been used to help pay for fish stocking, building fish structures, purchase of a GPS that is used for lake related issues, lake plantings, waders, laser lights (to chase the geese), and the Kids Fishing Tournament. If you have aluminum cans that you are either throwing away or putting in the recycling bin, please consider bagging them and taking them to one of the can bins located in Candlewick. The Friends of Candlewick have recently voted to use funds from the cans for projects that could either benefit the lake and/or the community. This is expanding the scope beyond specific lake use, and may be used to benefit the entire community where needed.

By maintaining your property, not only does it enhance the beauty of the neighborhood, but adds to property values. Taking a few minutes to clean up your yard and ditch goes a long way in beautifying the neighborhood.

Public Safety

Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Total Calls for Service 1093

A Message from the Chief of Public Safetydon’t know it happened. The way times are now, our first reaction is to go to social media and let everyone else know what has happened instead of contacting Public Safety or the BCSD. Even if it is something small, call us! This way, we can track what is happening and where. Then we will be able to focus in on problem areas. Never hesitate to call our 24-hour dispatch number where you can reach Public Safety to report anything at 1-815-339-0503. As I was growing up, right before the news started at 10 PM, the wonderful reminder message chimed in and said “It’s 10 PM. Do you know where your children are?” I recall hearing this and thinking, “Right here! Not sure where else I would be.” But how times have changed. Do you know where your children are at 10 PM? 11 PM? And what about 2 AM or 3 AM? Of course, they must be sleeping, or are they? One of our biggest challenges has been vandalism that happens late at night or very early morning. Public Safety will continue to conduct foot patrols and patrolling all areas, but your help is needed, by knowing where your children are, who they are with and what they are doing. Ask questions, call other parents, confirm what is happening. Knowing is half the battle. We all can do things to help deter these events. Candlewick is a dark place at night; so, leave the outside lights on and call if you see something suspicious. I look forward to working with all of our residents to make Candlewick the best place we can, together. If you have any questions or concerns or would just like to say hi, please don’t hesitate to call, e-mail or just stop in. My door is always open. I will close with a quote from Walt Disney, “Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -Walt Disney Company I find the line, “We keep moving forward,” a perfect ending. If we spend too much time looking back, we will miss what is ahead. So, as your new Chief of Public Safety, we will keep moving forward.

by Chief Matthew [email protected] FROM PUBLIC SAFETY Hello residents of Candlewick Lake. As you may or may not know the previous Chief of Public Safety has retired. Since his departure I have been promoted from the Sergeant of the Public Safety Department to the Chief of Public Safety. I am honored and thrilled to accept this new position and all the challenges that will come with it. Some of you may know me and some may not, so allow me to tell you a bit about myself. My name is Matthew Studt and I have been working in the Public Safety Department for almost 11 years now. I started my adventure here at Candlewick as a part-time gate officer then moving to a full-time gate officer. Moving from the gate, I began to work as a patrol officer and gate officer trying to learn all aspects of the job then being promoted to the field training officer for the gate. After that, I moved into a full-time patrol officer and was promoted to the Sergeant of the Public Safety Department for the last 3 ½ years. And now being promoted to the Chief of Public Safety, I couldn’t be happier. A little about myself - I grew up in Roselle, Illinois. My parents were both teachers. My dad was a high school teacher, and my mom was a librarian. I have an older brother who is also a teacher. I am 38 years old and have been married for 12 years. I have two children. My son is 11 years old, and my daughter is 7 years old. We lived in Candlewick for four years before moving to Capron and now reside in Machesney Park. In whatever spare time I have, I enjoy spending it with my family. I am a big fan of movies and TV. I also have a slight obsession with all things Disney and Star Wars. I really can’t express how excited I am to begin this next chapter in my life here at Candlewick. I will continue to work to improve things to make it a safer place to live. I believe we can have a beautiful community here, but to accomplish that, we do need a little help from everybody. Please, if something happens to your property, make sure to report it to Public Safety. If you don’t report it, we

Environmental ControlApprovals/Permits Required & Obtaining Building Permits Any type of construction project requires approval by the Environmental Control Committee and/or Building Inspector and most cases a building permit must be issued. Applications must be submitted and plans approved for any project. Application forms along with specification sheets for individual types of construction are available in the office or can be found in the rules under the Building Department (ECC/Building Department Rules and Regulations) on the web site at www.candlewicklake.org. The Rules and Regulations can also be checked to find out if the construction project needs approval. The ECC meets the first and third Wednesday of each month. Please see the schedule for the deadlines for submitting plans for approval. After applications for construction projects are approved by the ECC, approval letters are sent out to the property owner. If the construction project requires a permit, the approval letter states at what meeting the application was approved, that a permit must be purchased in the Candlewick Lake Office before construction may begin, the cost, the office hours, a reminder that all dues, fines and fees must be paid before the permit is issued, a list of projects that also need a Boone County building permit and a notice to call the CWL Building Department for a final inspection when the project is complete.

Vacant Lots for Sale If you have your unimproved (vacant) lot for sale, you may keep the selling information on file in the Candlewick Lake office. This information will be available to anyone interested in purchasing a lot in Candlewick Lake. Forms are available in the Administration Office, which must be filled out and placed in the book by the property owner. It is the responsibility of the lot owner to remove the form when the lot has been sold or is no longer for sale. Candlewick Lake Association does not act as a selling agent for property owners. By signing the form, you are authorizing Candlewick Lake Association to provide the information to the general public. Some of the listings go back to 2009. If you have put a form in the book, you may want to consider stopping in the office to review your form to be sure it has updated information with regards to your address, phone number, asking price etc.

Driveway Extensions & Parking Areas Property owners wishing to add a driveway extension or a parking area need to be reminded that the rules have changed. Any driveway extension or parking area must be paved with concrete, asphalt or paving bricks. Gravel or stone as a surface is no longer acceptable. Additionally, the rules were recently changed to state that plans for extensions and parking areas needs to be submitted for ECC approval.

Ditch & Culvert Work Many property owners would like to do work in the ditch and/or install block, stone or wood retaining walls around the ends of the culvert (the metal pipe under the driveway) in front of their property. Please remember that anything you do in the ditch must be approved. The area from the edge of the road in toward your house approxi-mately 20’ is defined as the ditch area and is owned by Candlewick Lake. Application forms along with rule sheets are available in the office or you can find the rules under the Building Department (ECC/Building Department Rules and Regulations) on our web site at www.candlewicklake.org. Section 510 is applicable to ditches. The ECC meets the first and third Wednesday of each month. Please see the schedule for the deadlines for submitting plans for approval.

Do You Have a New Address or Phone Number: Contact Office with Change If you have recently moved, please take a few minutes to contact the Administration Office to give us your new ad-dress. Many mailings done by the Association are sent out bulk mail. Unfortunately, the post office will not forward bulk mail, but will instead return it at a considerable fee. We are charged about $4.00 to receive the CWL News back. If you have disconnected your house phone (land line) and are only using cell phones, chances are the Office does not have your current number. The Association has no way of contacting you in an emergency. The same is true if you change your phone number. Please take a few moments to contact the Administration Office at 815-339-0500 ext. 200 to be sure we have your address and phone number(s) on file.

Signs Please be reminded that the only type of signs that are allowed in Candlewick Lake are real estate and political signs. Real estate signs must be placed against the house or garage and may not be out in the yard. Political signs are only allowed to be displayed 30 prior and 10 after an election. Political signs may not be placed in the ditch, on common ground or any CWL owned property. Contractors are not permitted to place signs on your property. These include but are not limited to siders, roofers, landscapers, remodeling and driveway companies or any other type of construction. In addition, no event or any other type of signs are allowed. When you are having, work done on your house or yard, please advise your contractor that they may not display their signs. Citations will be issued to the member if signs are displayed.

Use of Common Ground Use of the common ground for personal prop-erty is prohibited unless the General Manager grants permission. This includes gardens, woodpiles, etc. Trampolines, swing sets, pools, boats, etc. are strictly prohibited and permission for these types of items will not be granted. If you would like to use the common ground, you may pick up an application form in the office, to be filled out and submitted for approval by the General Manager.

New Roofs & Windows If you are changing the color of the shingles on your house, you need to get the color change approved by Candlewick Lake but a permit is not necessary. However, a Boone County Building permit and inspections are required. Please contact the County Building Department at 815-544-6176 for further information. Because of changes in the energy code, the County now also requires a permit for any window change. If you are changing any window, please contact the Boone County Building Department. If you change a window but the size does not change, Candlewick Lake approval isn’t necessary. However, if the size does change or if you are changing a window into a door or a door into a window, you must submit plans for ECC approval.

Garbage Company Proper Disposal Info Normal household trash must be put out in sealed containers. Bags set next to the toter are prohibited and citations will be issued to those violating the rules. If you need an additional toter, please contact Advanced Disposal at 815-874-8431. If you only occasionally have an additional bag of garbage that doesn’t fit in your toter, you may put it in a regular garbage can. You are required to have your garbage at the curb by 6:00 AM on the day of collection. To avoid being missed, please be sure to have your garbage out by 6:00 AM. An electronic recycling drop-off site is located at the Boone County Highway Department. Hazardous waste materials (paints, paint thinner, oil, etc.) can be taken to the Rock River Water Reclamation District located at 3333 Kishwaukee Street in Rockford. Their hours are Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from noon to 4:00 PM. You can call 815-387-7510 to get a com-plete list of what is accepted and what is not. Things they don’t accept are compressed gas, explosives and radioactive material. Tires (except tractor tires) may be taken, up to four at a time, to Rock River Water Reclamation District. Sharps (used syringes, needles and other medical equip-ment) should not be disposed of in your household trash or recycling as this poses a significant health risk to waste haulers. Anyone working in the trash handling industry can unexpectedly come in contact with these materials and is in danger of accidentally puncturing themselves and be at risk of contracting any number of diseases – including Hepatitis B and HIV – from contaminated syringes. Most pharmacies offer a free sharps collection program. You can pick up a sharps container at no charge; once your container is full, you can exchange it for a new container. This free service is a simple solution for the safe disposal of SHARPS.

This means that Advanced Disposal will pick up unlimited “household items” on that day only. Please keep in mind that every week, you are allowed to put out one extra “household item” with your normal garbage.

Motion carriedSub-Committee Reports:Education – There was no report. Lake Ecology- There was no report. Watershed – There was no report. Recreational Use of Lake – There was no report.Fish Stocking and Habitation – There was no report. Service Activity Projects – There was no report.Lake/Water Safety – Pam Cangelosi’s article will discuss caution on the lake because of the changing weather, carrying proper ID for resident and guest, and ice shanty identification.Volunteers – There was no report.Unfinished Business: 1. Lake Conditions – Chuck Hart and Todd Jones went out to three spots (North end and firefly bay area), drilled holes and put a camera through to check conditions. They reported that there were no signs of active weeds growing. They did see evidence of dead or dormant weeds. Joe Rush and Theresa Balk met with the farmer from the other side of Caledonia road. We hope to work out an agreement to create a buffer strip of between 6 – 7 acres. 2. Fish Shocking – Joe Rush gave a verbal report. The final written will be available at the next meeting. Joe reported that the October shocking had less than average conditions due to the cold. The findings continue to be consistent with past results. There were eight (8) different types of species, seven (7) were game species, one (1) was a non-desirable specie. He recommends continuing with the catch and release of the large mouth bass. They are growing and doing well. The blue gill had good relative weights. Spawn and recruitment of small mouth bass was seen. Yellow perch were found. They did not see any channel catfish. The number of Northern pike 19” – 26” in size is increasing. The relative weights are low. The number of walleye collected has been boing down. The spring shocking will take place mid-May.3. Clarke – Chuck Hart is going to invite Tim Gardner from Clarke to come out and look at the conditions under the ice.New Business:1. Fish Structures – Chuck Hart was contacted by Barb Appelhans regarding tree structures she will have available. The trees are Mulberry and will work fine for the fish structures. Chuck Hart will coordinate with Barb as far as when they will be put out on the lake. Trees from the previous source may not be available this year. 2. ILMA Conference – March 22 – March 24 – will be held in Bloomington. Anyone interested should contact Theresa. 3. Policy to ban wake and surf boats – This was tabled until next month. Theresa will get information from the other lake communi-ties experiencing problems with this issue. The idea is to come up with a policy in place before they would be purchased and want to be registered. These boats would impact the safety of smaller boats and have an impact on the shoreline erosion.4. Dredging – This is in the reserve study to be done in 2025. Joe Rush testing be done ahead of time to see if this timeframe needs to be adjusted. Joe Rush suggests that the grant planning committee should get together at least once a year to review the established plan and make any changes. Charlie Sewell requested a copy of the final plan from the planning grant.Motion to adjourn by Todd Jones, seconded by Jim Brefeld at 7:31 PM, motion carried. Respectfully submitted: Theresa Balk
