3 10/9/2020 The budget for treatment is similar to what we budgeted for this year in 2020, but with this year’s DNR Grant we spent less of our funds, which gives us a nice opportunity to carry over funds into next year. There may be DNR grants next year, and we will apply for them if they are available. For Curly Leaf Pondweed we expect about the same treatment as this year. With milfoil we in- creased the budget for 2021, as treatment may return to more normal and we expect more treatment than 2020, though less than 2019. Overall, we estimate spending about $20,000 for 2021 treat- ments, and are able to contribute $14,000 as carryover to our reserves from 2020. We would like to have $60,000 in reserves. There are two reasons to do this. First, each year we incur costs in the summer and receive the tax receipts later in the year. Second, we need to be prepared for some new invasive species, or an explosion of growth of the current ones. The worst case would be to have a bad year and not have the funds available to fully treat the bay. A few years ago, before the CBLID, we were raising and spending up to $70,000 per year for treatments. We want to build a reserve and then hopefully reducing the tax assessment. This budget proposes that the 2021 taxation level re- main the same as 2020 at $33,600 with the same CBLID tax levied at $300 per lakeshore property. Chuck Nadler from the public moved to approve the 2021 budget as presented with a tax assessment of $300 in 2021 for each property in the CBLID district, 2nd by Tucker.
