3.      2011 – 2015 Tomahawk/Sand Bar WDNR Grant - Pamela
Pamela and Stefania have put a lot of time in preparing the EWM grant for 2011, 2012 & 2013. It appears that we will be a submitting three grant requests: a one year grant, a three year grant and a combination Sand Bar Lake control/CBCW grant. Ingemar will present the grant documents at the Town Board meeting tomorrow night and will summarize the grant information for the group as support for the resolution for the Town of Barnes to support and sponsor the grant.

b.      The DNR aquatic plant assessment took place on Tomahawk and Sand Bar Lakes on Saturday. No EWM was found on Tomahawk Lake. They also did a survey of the native plants; it appears that some of the natives are returning however the actual data will be released in the next several weeks.
c.       The cost of unemployment for the landing monitors in the off-season will be included in the grant request.
