2. Clean up slash.

4. Apply the seed: broadcast on gentle slopes, or into trenches on steeper slopes. Prepare and seed the island.
5. Dig up weeds.
3. The leach field will be a major project after Crellin Lake is in good shape.
4. Noxious Weed Workshop: will have again this year, with a new title – Ecology Information and Action Workshop – and expanded scope to cover the range of things done by the Ecology Committee. We will have tables with information and people to answer questions. Judd noted as per the Coloradoan News Paper Mountain pine beetle is an issue and may be headed our way. The ecology committee is going to keep pushing the thinning of trees. There was discussion of using compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) and the fact that they are low energy and good for the environment. What is the proper disposal for CFL bulbs? There is a small amount of mercury sealed in the glass tubing and like paint, batteries and other hazardous household items CFL’S should be disposed of properly.

Batterson Lake: Excellent hold over fish population. One small stocking scheduled for May.
Riddle Lake: Some catches of hold over fish, 20" to 24" reported. The bulk of this year’s stocking will be here.
Crellin Lake: Stocking to continue as water levels improve and silt levels drop.
Future stocking proposal: Investigate a GVM hatchery at Batterson Lake.

OLD BUSINESS:

NEW BUSINESS:

2. New bank account at Western State Bank to diversify funds per procedural requirements. The manager explained to the Board that due to Senate Bill 100there are new procedural requirements in that the Association can not have more than $100,000 in any one financial institution.

Linda Adams moved to diversify funds and transfer up to $75,000 to Western State Bank. Unanimous-motion passed.
3. Recreation Committee Chairperson Appointment: Joe Schroedl expressed an interest in chairing the Recreation Committee. After discussion Bob Naftzger moved to appoint Joe Schroedl Recreation Committee Chairman. Unanimous-motion passed.
4. Fishing Committee proposal for rule changes: (See Committee report)
   
   Proposed changes:
   
   Batterson Lake: No Ice Fishing The committee chairman claims that ice fishing has a 100% mortality when you drop the fish back in the hole it sinks to the bottom and drowns. Stan also stated that area home owners report that the majority of the ice fisherman are poachers and keep their catch.
   
   Riddle and Crellin Lakes: Reduce daily limit from 8 daily per lot owner to 2 per day per lot owner.Current 8 fish daily limit is too high and provides for poor fishing experiences and few hold over fish.
   
   After discussion among Board members and public input Bob Naftzger moved to change the current fishing rule to specify a daily limit of 2 fish per person and a maximum of 4 fish total per day per lot. Unanimous-motion passed.
   
   Bob Naftzger moved to prohibit ice fishing on Batterson Lake. Unanimous-motion passed.
