GRASS LAKE WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION <br />Eckman asked what is done with the sediment that is removed. Maloney <br />explained that contractors have various uses for it. It is not hazardous <br />waste. <br />The Board noted the response letter to Bester that was sent since the <br />January 25, 2007 meeting: <br />1. Joe Bester, President of Lake Owasso Association, February 22, 2007, Water <br />Quality Management Study for Lake Owasso. <br />Mogg stated that he would like board members to be able to review letters before <br />they are sent. The Bester letter deserved discussion, as it included information <br />that he had not had a chance to comment on. He is not sure there is a trend of <br />poorer water quality in Lake Owasso. Maloney responded that his interpretation <br />of the Board's direction was authorization to send a response, which was overdue. <br />DeZellar stated that a better effort will be made for members to see <br />correspondence before it is sent out. <br />C. Bills <br />No bills were received since the January 25, 2007 meeting. <br />D. Other Business <br />D-1 Lake Owasso Survey Review <br />Mogg asked the reason for the survey and what will be done with the results. <br />DeZellar stated that the survey is a way to engage people who live on the lake and <br />to find out their perceptions of lake issues. The information is not science, but <br />their perceptions will help shape the study and identify concerns to address at <br />public meetings. It is a good faith effort to work with the community. <br />Eckman added that the survey is not just for lake property owners. An effort will <br />be made to obtain information from all Lake Owasso users, not just deeded access <br />residents. <br />Stark stated that the perception is that the quality of the lake has degraded. It will <br />be good information for the Board to see if that perception is represented by the <br />people who live on and use the lake and then whether those perceptions are <br />supported by scientific data. <br />Eckman stated that the survey questions are good, but she would add an <br />explanatory statement about the purpose of the survey and how it will be used. <br />
