Trustees receive algae monitoring updates; meeting adjourned
Summary
Trustees heard updates that Scott Pond's cyanobacteria counts rose to the ~1,000 range before falling to around ~500 per liter; Towne Pond had a microcystin bloom that fell from ~200 to ~100 per liter by late June. The meeting adjourned after a motion to close.
In the final portion of the July 13 meeting, trustees received updates on cyanobacteria (algae) monitoring. A trustee reported that Scott Pond had testing that rose into the roughly 1,000 per-liter range about a month to six weeks earlier and has since fallen to around 500 per liter for the past three weeks. Towne Pond experienced a microcystin bloom that started near 200 and declined to about 100 by the end of June; officials noted that Towne Pond is not within trustee jurisdiction but that nearby villages posted signs.
Trustees characterized the levels as still elevated relative to typical seasonal expectations but lower than recent peaks; they did not announce new restrictions or immediate emergency actions. The board then approved a motion to close the meeting and adjourned by voice vote.
