5 Public Hearing August 18, 2015 Ms. Carol Elvery, 33 Shadow Woods Lane, Chairperson of Friends of Mirror and Shadow Lakes spoke in favor of the FY2016 Inland Lakes budget and asked Council for approval. Ms. Elvery stated that Eurasian Water Milfoil was found in Mirror and Shadow Lakes and two volunteer firefighters that enjoy diving removed the species. There was also a lot of curly-leaf pondweed, which is not as great of a concern because it would be unusual for that species to overtake the lakes due to the type of lakes that they are. Another concern is the oxygen level that is rich enough for fish to survive in Shadow Lake has lessened over the last couple of summers. The layer is at 15 feet deep where in the past it was feet deep. They believe a factor is the ice coming in later and leaving earlier which allows light to get to the bottom for a longer period of time. This allows plants to use more oxygen from the bottom up. Ms. Elvery said they are very happy with the South Park Phase 2 and restoration of the shoreline. The plants are doing very well. The most important part of Phase 2 is the progress to get the channel working so that it collects more sediment and keeps the sediment and pollution out of the lake as much as possible. Ms. Elvery thanked the Council for all of their support. Ms. Suze Reinke Riddle, property owner on the Cary Pond of the Crystal River in Waupaca spoke next and stated she supports the budget and applauds the Mirror/Shadow Lakes group for the work they have done in our beautiful lakes over the past years. She said she has been made aware that this is the proper governmental body to manage all the waterways in the Waupaca city area. She asked for Council s consideration or the Inland Lakes Board s consideration to begin to consider the positive future of the Waupaca River, the Crystal River and mill ponds associated with those waterways. She referenced the Little Hope Dam where possible lack of foresight caused big problems that had to be solved faster than anyone wanted to. She hopes that going forward a conversation can be generated about the positive management of those waterways to the enhancement of our community and possible increase in recreational use. She thanked them for all that they do to maintain the beautiful waterways in our community. Mr. Aaron Jenson, Parks and Recreation Director stated that the budget is using money that was taxed approximately 15 years ago. This is a result of the board being prudent in their use of the funds. Funds that are expended go toward the divers that remove the invasive species approximately twice per year and water testing. He mentioned that they do not expect to receive any grant funds in Mayor Smith asked for any additional testimony in favor of the FY2016 budget. Hearing none, Mayor Smith asked for testimony in opposition of subject. Hearing no testimony in opposition of the subject, Mayor Smith declared the Public Hearing closed at 5:58 P.M.
