Johnson are to serve as alternates. All Managers voted aye. Chairperson Froyen led discussion regarding whether or not
the CRWD Advisory Committee should review the Pleasant Lake Outlet DNR Permit to
see if changes should be made and to also consider whether or not someone other
than the CRWD Watershed District should regulate the opening and closing of the
Pleasant Lake outlet gate. It was determined that no changes would be made at
this time. Managers instructed Administrator Anderson to develop press
releases regarding CRWD actions. Managers
may also draft press releases. Duane Orbeck, Kimball City Council member, expressed his
gratitude for Administrator Anderson’s stormwater management presentation at a
recent Kimball City Council meeting. He indicated that the city of Kimball is in
need of stormwater management and is very interested in working with the CRWD
and Maine Prairie Township on this issue. Managers expressed their willingness
