Committee member says removal of lake vegetation should not be volunteers' responsibility
Summary
A committee member told residents that collecting and disposing of removed lake plants should not fall to volunteers and referenced a previously circulated plan left by 'Mike' that was later dropped; the meeting contained no formal motion to reassign responsibility.
A committee member told the group that removal and disposal of vegetation should not be the responsibility of volunteers. "I I will agree with the gentleman over here. I believe this is not in the job of volunteers," the committee member said during a public-comment exchange.
Meeting remarks referenced a prior plan and schedule left with the board by a person identified only as "Mike," who had served on the lakes committee at one time; according to the record, the plan was later dropped and some planned treatments for lake vegetation did not occur. A meeting participant said the plan "got changed" and that volunteers had not treated the vegetation as intended.
Residents reported seeing piles of removed plant material on the banks, and the committee member framed collection as an operational task rather than volunteer stewardship. The transcript does not record a formal vote, a staff directive, or a plan to allocate funding or a contractor to resolve disposal and collection responsibilities.
