Summary
LWCD staff presented final 2025 financials: total expenditures were $387,744; grant funding totaled $295,075; net county contribution was $92,669, supporting the equivalent of 4.5 full‑time employees. Lake districts reported on invasive species plans and budget status.
LWCD staff presented the office’s final financial summary for 2025 to the Conservation/UW‑Extension Committee on April 13.
The LWCD final 2025 financial summary showed total expenditures of $387,744, total grant funding received of $295,075, and a net county contribution of $92,669, which the report said supports the equivalent of 4.5 full‑time employees. The committee also reviewed invoices paid for February and March 2026.
At the same time, lake district reports noted program activity: the Mid Lake Protection District indicated its budget is in good standing, plans for summer surveys and reserves for hand‑pulling invasives, and no current plans for chemical treatment; Crescent Lake reported plans to apply for grant funding for invasive species management and said it may use up to five days of DASH treatment if grants are not secured, while noting concern about possible development if Crescent Lake Bible Camp is sold.
Why it matters: The LWCD finances and lake district plans shape on‑the‑ground invasive species management, staffing capacity and program choices that affect water quality and recreation across the county.
Next steps: Financials were accepted as presented; committee placed LWCD follow‑up items on the next agenda, including lake district proposals and representative selection.
