412 At the request of Chair Miller, Mr. Petersen briefly updated the GLWMO Board on the final meeting that 413 he'd attended on the Vegetation Management Plan for Lake Owasso. Mr. Petersen advised that the 414 meeting was poorly attended, with only him and representatives of the Lake Owasso Homeowners 415 Association attending. Mr. Petersen reviewed the sunset of the current Plan that allowed more treatment 416 of vegetation on Lake Owasso than allowed under Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rules that 417 required an annual point intercept survey done to provide trends or patterns. 418 419 On a related note, Mr. Petersen advised he understood that the Lake Wabasso Homeowners Association 420 was putting together a plan modeled on the Lake Owasso Plan.
