In the Spring of 2026, there will be two additional "bumps" of Fluridone at 2 PPB each. The two subsequent bumps will occur two weeks after the ice melts, and then 30 days after the initial spring bump, and will complete our "full bay" treatment that we start late this fall. Treatments will be done by PLM, a professional, trained and insured contractor, very familiar with our bay. Property owners will be notified when treatments occur. A Point -Intercept (PI) survey and Delineation Study will be conducted by Freshwater Scientific to track efficacy of AIS mitigation and native plant growth. The total Budget for 2026 is $24,634 (reference handout), which falls within our estimated budget. The Board forecasts expenses of $16,225 to manage the two known aquatic invasive plants (CLP and EWM) and $6,490 for post -treatment surveys which will inform our AIS treatment plans for the subsequent year. Additional administrative expenses are forecasted at $1,919. The revenue required to cover the forecasted budget translates to a Levy of $2.36 per lineal foot of lakeshore for the 2026 tax year for each of the 68 District properties (reference handout). Lineal foot measurements were provided by the Hennepin County Assessor's Office on August 6, 2025. A straight- line measurement was used to determine lake shore, which in some cases may be different than lakefront noted for home value tax purposes. Any questions about your measured lakeshore can be addressed to the Hennepin County Assessor's Office. Chair asks for a motion from a Director Motion to Approve the 2026 Annual Budget dated August 27, 2025, with revenues of $24,693 via tax proceeds of $2.36 per lineal foot and expenditures of $24,634.
