Shoreline restoration bid higher than expected; watershed study to continue
Summary
LLLMD reported only one bid for Don Jean Bay shoreline work that exceeded expectations and will consult DNR on next steps; the district also said its watershed study is ongoing, with a third public meeting planned for mid to late October.
At the Sept. 4 meeting, Jim Kroeplin reported the Don Jean Bay shoreline restoration project received only one bid and that the amount was higher than expected. He said the district needs to consult with the DNR to determine how to proceed and that it is submitting an additional grant application for further restoration work.
Kroeplin also updated the board on the ongoing watershed study: a second public meeting was held by Zoom on Aug. 31 and a third meeting is planned for mid to late October. He said meeting notes and materials will be posted on the Lake District website.
The discussion indicates the project is at a decision point: the bid exceeds budgeted expectations and the district is seeking DNR guidance and additional funding before proceeding.
