Eden Selectboard reopens boat launch, schedules herbicide treatment Aug. 26; declines paid internet upgrade
Summary
The board reopened the boat launch for kayak use, noted a lake herbicide treatment set for August 26, 2025, approved a Facility Use Agreement, and decided not to pursue paid internet upgrades after staff reported low interest from seasonal campers.
The Eden Selectboard reported multiple operational changes for the town beach on July 22, 2025: the boat launch was reopened for kayak access, signs and the building have been repainted, and the Lake Eden Association delivered notices about an herbicide treatment scheduled for August 26, 2025.
Board members discussed a proposal to add paid internet service at the beach but decided not to proceed after staff reported that fewer than half of seasonal campers would pay for access. The selectboard approved a revised Facility Use Agreement (motioned by Ricky Morin and seconded by Clayton Whittemore) to govern future bookings; the board also set a new booking policy that allows reservations only for the next season after January 1, grandfathering any bookings already made for the next season.
The beach update was presented as part of routine reports; the minutes do not record public opposition or additional details about the herbicide product or exact treatment area.
