Dredging Planned for October 2010

Dredging during the winter months has some distinct advantages but, it also means working from the ice.  The heavy snowfall precluded this option in February 2010 so dredging will begin in October 2010.  We are exploring a different dredging option that may be more efficient and environmentally friendly.  More on that later.

We have spent $2,000 to successfully secure the dredging permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.  The permit is good until Feb 2011.  All other funds remain in a segregated fund in the bank under the watchful eye of our treasurer Dale Monson and the UMSS Board.

Fund raising will continue later this summer toward our goal of $100,000.  The December fundraising was totally electronic.  We will use the old dock plan in 2010.  If you know of a sailboat or powerboat looking for a quiet marina this summer please have them call me a call at 612-759-7161.

 See you all on Saturday April 24 at the dock-in.  We are really going to miss that old dock.
