Lake Improvement -Update. Alderman Carl mentioned that a map of the Boat Dock
area was completed. "Master Gardener" has been involved and suggested some removal
of old trees and planting of new trees. Also suggested was a nature trail. We're planning
a `Volunteer Day' to clean up the lake. Have a number of volunteers already. This will
be done in late March early April. The new restroom is near completion, and the siltation
dam will be done in April. Gates will be installed to allow no admittance after hours.
Mayor Bohler commented that the committee is doing a fantastic job, the road is really
nice. Alderman Hartford said at `Youth Acres' the building is totally insulated, and they
are making improvements all the time. The Boys and Girls Scouts are utilizing the
