Lakes Commission presents five strategic goals; board gives consensus to proceed
Summary
Operations Director Kevin Klahs reviewed five Lakes Commission goals—stormwater, ecological/watershed management, recreation, education/engagement, and data acquisition— and the board gave consensus to proceed; no formal vote was required.
Operations Director Kevin Klahs presented the Lakes Commission's strategic goals to the Village Board on Jan. 24. The commission outlined five priorities: stormwater management; ecological and watershed management; recreational opportunities; education and resident engagement; and data acquisition and management.
Klahs summarized each goal and explained that the goals are intended to guide the Village Board when making budget and programming decisions related to village lakes. After discussion, the board indicated consensus for the Lakes Commission to proceed with implementing the goals; formal board approval was not required or taken at the meeting.
The goals are advisory guidance for staff and the commission as they plan lake-related projects, data collection and outreach; budget implications and project timelines will be determined during the regular budget process and future meetings.
