Commissioners note algae and vegetation problems in county lakes; spraying budget increased
Summary
Staff told the board that lakes and parks maintenance spending rose to cover repeated spraying to reduce vegetation growth; commissioners discussed short‑term effectiveness and timing.
County staff said increases in the lakes and parks budget reflect more frequent spraying to control algae and vegetation. The presenter said spraying helped reduce growth but was a short‑term measure; staff reported spraying Dun Lake two or three times last year and said they expect winter drawdown to help curb regrowth.
Commissioners discussed property line issues along the waterfront and the practical challenges of enforcement and maintenance by private dock owners. The item was noted for future meetings rather than being acted on immediately.
