Chair Ferrington noted changes made to the report following discussion at the July 2010 meeting <br />of the GLWMO Board. <br />Mr. Petersen noted that several items of constructive criticism had been incorporated into the <br />final document and sought Board approval for publication. <br />Minor revisions were noted to the document presented as follows: <br />Page 3 <br />Reference to the GLWMO and conservation practice assistance program (Eckman) <br />Correction to the GLWMO website (Ferrington) <br />Letter from Chair Ferrington, 2 paragraph, last sentence: sources and sinks; and references <br />for staff to administrate... program's financial assistance "to install..." (Eckman) <br />Designation of Chair and Vice Chair and removal of Chair Ferrington's title of "Doctor" <br />Chair Ferrington noted that a substantive increase in the amount of information provided <br />compared to past annual reports, and expressed his sincere appreciation to Mr. Petersen for the <br />quality of the report. <br />Mr. Maloney arrived at this time; approximately 5:13 p.m. <br />Member Manzara expressed concern that on the last page, the context for trends may be difficult <br />to understand for the general public, including references to "secchi disc" reading related to clear <br />water values. Mr. Petersen suggested that an additional column could be added for comparisons <br />of clarity with other lakes. <br />Chair Ferrington noted that the online lake finder had categories, and if acceptable to the Board, <br />that URL could be included in the report for reference. <br />Member Manzara noted the unlikelihood of people actually taking the next step to look up that <br />information. <br />Mr. Petersen referenced the language of the third paragraph under the chart. <br />Ms. Lewis suggested that the Board consider doing a graph of secchi readings for comparison, <br />rather than just an average, a way of illustrating trends that she'd seen used in other reports. <br />Member Manzara questioned the value of such a graph to answer the public's desired <br />information. <br />Member Eckman spoke in support of linking to the lake finder. <br />Mr. Petersen advised that he would seek input from Mr. Terry Noonan for translation of data into <br />layperson terminology to provide a context; and advised that he would make the grammatical <br />revisions as noted and work with Chair Ferrington for his final approval within the next week, if <br />that was the consensus of the Board. <br />2 <br />
