Vice Mayor Marion Chateau-Flagg told the council that Pete Flagg obtained an estimate to mechanically remove invasive lily pads from the town's lake shoreline at a cost of $9,150, with an additional $700 for an initial chemical application. The estimate does not include work on Gem Lake.
Chateau-Flagg said volunteers plan to use a small boat to remove weeds once a boat is secured; the town clerk offered the use of her jon boat but noted it may need trolling motor repair. The council discussed logistics and possible debris disposal on shore. No formal vote or budget appropriation was taken during the meeting.
