We were awarded a $25,000 DNR grant to help with the costs of creating the plan. The plan has four focus areas: Sedimentation, Habitat/Fisheries, Water quality, and Aquatic Invasives. Come to the meeting to learn more. Lake Altoona Survey: Part of the Lake Management Plan includes doing a survey of lake use. We’d like to get as many responses as possible. Please go to this website to take the survey: www.surveymonkey.com/s/LakeAltoona. When asked, use your property pin# (found on your address label below) as the survey code. (Survey responses are confidential; entering your pin# just saves us from sending a reminder postcard to those that have already completed the survey.)

The payments in 2015 are $172,562 which equates to a 2.2 mill tax rate for the debt service. Debt payments run through 2019. The plan for sand trap maintenance that was presented at the 2011 annual meeting proposed cleaning the sand trap every four years (2011, 2015, 2019). We have enough cash saved to enable this project to be completed in 2015. The proposed budget also includes 1.3 mill tax rate for operations.
