Q. How is the funding used?

A. Funding is used for lake management of water quality and weed control, including Lake Treatments cost share with city for AIS, Survey monitoring and Watercraft inspection cost share with the city for Aquatic Invasive Species. Samples are collected to analyze and monitor data on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the lake, and identifies any trends and issues that need attention. Funding is also used for Walleye Stocking, BLCLA Annual Meeting, Website administration, Chamber of Commerce dues, Community Event Registration fees, and other necessary operating expenses of the association. The association also needs to keep AIS fund reserves on hand for rapid response to new aquatic invasive species found on either Big Lake or Lake Mitchell.
