A motion was made by Ms. Milmore, seconded by Mr. Krbec, and passed unanimously approving the February 7, 2024, minutes.

Committee Discussion

Dr. Powers provided an overview of the history of the Lake Banks Committee, stormwater maintenance process and the Lake Banks compliance process.

Jerry Krbec expressed his concern regarding Lake Bank erosion and suggested gathering data to determine the extent of the issue. Mr. Sexauer suggested utilizing a drone to provide aerial view to determine the areas that will need a more detailed review. District Engineer Stef Matthes stated that he could perform a Tier 1 Drone assessment ($15K) to determine problem areas. Mr. Sexauer authorized moving forward with performing a Tier 1 Drone assessment.

A question was asked about compliance. District Engineer Stef Matthes responded that anything greater than a 6-inch step would not be in compliance. Mr. Sexauer suggested re-issuing the standards of maintenance requirements to all residents.

Ms. King expressed her concerns regarding Solitude not fulfilling all their contractual obligations and suggested issuing an RFP to consider other vendors. Mr. Sexauer responded that prior to considering an RFP, the current contract should be reviewed to establish what should be considered a lake maintenance responsibility, and any changes or additions that would be needed in a future contract.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC

Mr. Gary Giffin suggested that now would be a perfect time to spray for weeds with the water level being so low.
