President Ostbye called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Peltier moved to accept the minutes from the December 2, 2009 meeting as prepared. Tollefson seconded the motion and the Board passed the motion. Peltier then moved to accept the agenda. Wheeler seconded that motion and likewise, the Board passed the motion. Nick Valentine reviewed the 2009 financial statements and the 2010 budget. Tollefson moved to accept the financial report. Hart seconded the motion and the Board passed it.

Moriya Rufer presented the Lake Coordinator Report. PLM surveyed the lake areas for curly leaf pondweed and found only two areas that may require treatment. The total acreage is less than .5 acres and may be too small to secure a permit for treatment. Lake and stream monitoring has also commenced indicating very low levels of E coli. The Lake Management Plan has been updated and is posted on line. An additional $20,000 has been awarded to the district for additional shoreline restoration grants. Any interested party should contact Moriya. Discussion followed about the new rule requiring a permit for seining minnows and the need for education regarding docks, boat lifts and sprinkler systems in light of the zebra mussels discovery.

The Annual Meeting in August was discussed. There are openings for two individuals on the PGOLID Board. Tollefson is eligible for another term. Peltier moved to engage Advertising Marketing to fulfill the notification requirements and absentee ballot functions. Oskendahl seconded the motion and the members passed it.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:14 PM to convene the Mosquito and Pest Control meeting. The mosquito spraying will commence in May and continue through the summer. If residents desire additional spraying on the specific nights for spraying, usually Thursdays after dark, they can contact Clark and arrange for that.

The Board meeting reconvened at 8:25PM and was then adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Lisa J Wheeler
