Committee recruits volunteers for lake water sampling; new YSI equipment and brief training planned
Summary
The steering committee sought volunteers for spring water sampling and said staff will provide a short training before the first sampling outing; a new YSI meter will be used and staff will coordinate scheduling and launch logistics.
Steering committee members asked for volunteers to collect water-quality samples this spring and agreed to provide a brief training on new equipment before the first sampling outing.
Staff said the new YSI meter requires training and that sampling will launch from the Dana boat access; the committee named a volunteer (Marissa) who said she is available for May sampling depending on recovery from scheduled hand surgery. Members discussed sampling roles and coverage across lake zones and noted a target of two volunteers per area, with three volunteers identified for the condominiums area (one vacancy remains after recent departures).
A committee member said the training will likely be a short, roughly 10-minute demonstration on shore before going out on the boat. Staff asked volunteers to coordinate with Tom and Dave to confirm the first sampling date and to learn use of the new equipment. The committee indicated it will arrange launch logistics and coordinate the volunteer schedule so sampling can occur during weekdays in May when volunteers are available.
Discussion versus decision: The committee requested volunteers and planned training; no formal vote occurred. Staff will schedule training and the first sampling date with the volunteer list.
Next steps: Staff to schedule a short equipment training and confirm the first sampling date; volunteers to coordinate launch logistics and availability with staff.
