FA�WW- <br /> Association <br /> May 31, 2006 <br /> Mayor Cathy Malecha <br /> Members of the City Council <br /> 4638 County Road 11 <br /> Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br /> Dear Mayor Malecha and Council Members, <br /> Two years ago,the East Twin Lake Association embarked on a broad lake management planning <br /> initiative. The intent of this initiative is to maintain and, hopefully, improve the visual, <br /> ecological,recreational and environmental quality of East Twin Lake over the next 20 years. A <br /> side benefit would be to act as a model for other city based lake associations to use in developing <br /> similar plans. As you know,the initiative was funded by the City and the Community Growth <br /> Institute provided professional consulting expertise to guide us through the process. <br /> In the planning process, which included surveys, small group meetings and community <br /> workshops,the Lake Association identified seven key issues to address. We also developed <br /> specific goals and strategies to be used in implementing the issues. I am very pleased to inform <br /> you that at our recent Annual Meeting (May 27),the Association took two very important steps <br /> regarding this initiative. First, we unanimously passed the following resolution: <br /> • `Be it resolved by the East Twin Lake Association that the Association has completed <br /> their lake management planning study and have identified seven(7) issues of concern, <br /> that these issues will begin to be addressed in the near future, and that we want to <br /> formally thank the City of Pequot Lakes for the grant that paid for the leadership and <br /> counsel of Community Growth to guide us through the process. Finally,the Association <br /> appreciated having the opportunity to participate in the study." <br /> Second,the Association decided to begin working on two of the initiatives over the course of the <br /> next year. The initiatives selected were Issue Two: Pollution and Issue Five: Habitat and <br /> Ecology. <br /> Once again the East Twin Lake Association thanks you for your support of this important <br /> initiative. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Thomas H. Adams <br /> President, East Twin Lake Association <br /> P.O.Box 333 • Pequot Lakes,MN 56472 <br />
