Paul Hoyt is now overseeing Carp and provided an update on the WSB carp project.  As previously reported seining is set to occur in the fall of 2023 and spring of 2024.  Reconnaissance will occur in the summer of 2023 to determine best locations for seining.    In prior year reconnaissance gathering the carp started the winter months in the south end of the lake but as the temperature dropped moved to the north end near the dam area which is not an area appropriate for seining due to the many obstacles on the lake bottom there. 

Amy updated the group that the lake survey was completed and there was an abundance of curly leaf found and already growing prior to treatment.  The next survey will occur in July to review native plant growth.    

Pam has decided she needed to step down from the board for personal reasons.  As a result the board asked John Tuschner if he would be open to joining as her replacement.  He advised that he would.  Paul nominated John as Pam’s replacement and Amy seconded and all approved.    John has a background in information technology and has agreed to assist with managing the website and postings on it. 

The meeting adjourned via motion from Paul Hoyt and seconded by Dave Nielsen at 8:00 PM.
