Dr. Jim Moyer, an elected supervisor on the Soil and Water Conservation District, used the public‑comment period to ask the commission to take action on water quality concerns at Stark Lake and Lake Prima Vista.
"According to the county, DEP is giving Stark Lake a medium priority as far as the TMDL evaluation," Moyer said, adding that about 550 residents live around Stark Lake and Lake Prima Vista and that he would like to meet with the city to coordinate outreach and push DEP to give the lake the priority he believes it deserves.
Moyer thanked the city for posting a recent fundraising event for the Soil and Water district and noted local engagement; he said he has created a website and a resident list and requested the city’s help with distribution of informational flyers and with directing DEP attention toward the lake.
Commissioners thanked Moyer for the comment; no formal action was taken during this meeting but Moyer said he would follow up with staff.
