All in favor, motion carried. In response to a question, the income from the 2010 Round Robin was $4,139.90 compared to the 2009 Round Robin of $5,114.00. The major difference was in the sale of the Money Raffle; 2010 realized a profit of $362.45 compared to $1,192.00 in 2009. Communications: Tim read a letter from FLILPRD thanking the organization for its donation of $2,000 to offset legal expense incurred in the continuing objection to the Fox Lake Correctional Institution dairy farm. Old Business: Tim announced that Linda Truelove has agreed to serve as Treasurer and introduced Linda to the Board. Fish Committee: Louis reported that the DNR has stocked 47,000 walleye and 17,500 northern fingerling. He also stated he had contacted 25 vendors and none had hybrid Muskie available for stocking. He also had a conversation with Laura Stremick-Thompson of the DNR and learned that the DNR had stocked 500 to 2,800 Muskie per year from 1995 through 2002 and Laura indicated that stocking 100 true Muskie would not harm Fox Lake. George made a motion seconded by Bob to rescind that part of the April 3rd motion “that 100 hybrid Muskie that do not reproduce (12”-15”)” be stocked. All in favor motion carried. Comments made regarding the stocking of true Muskie included: Muskie aid in controlling carp because they eat small carp; Muskie population will be gone in a few years without some stocking; the lake is for everyone and Muskie fisherman should be considered; stocking a limited number of 150 Muskie will not affect other fish species; there should be a 5-year plan for stocking Muskie, one year will have little effect; the support of FLILPRD should be solicited in support of stocking Muskie. A motion was made by Ed seconded by Tom to stock 150 Muskie in 2010 and work with Laura Stremick-Thompson and the DNR to develop a plan for future years. Four in favor, one opposed (Jon), one no vote (Tim), motion carried. Golf Outing: Bill Knueppel has told other members that he has 21 teams participating. It was assumed that Sarah will be getting the necessary sandwich supplies, Louis will call Bill to verify. New Business: Colleen Crane is the new webmaster and Board members were asked to review the web site www.townoffoxlake.org/flpo/home and provide input for additions or changes. Dave Branovan will be invited to the October meting to discuss a proposed Pond Hockey tournament. Bev Connor was thanked for arranging for the two page advertisement promoting the Round Robin. Board meetings will occur every other month from now until April, 2011. Next Board Meeting: Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 9:30 am Tim contacted Doris Rottman and inquired if she wished to be a supporting Board member. Doris stated that serving for 31 years was long enough. Thank you, Doris for your years of service. Motion to Adjourn: Motion by George; 2nd by Jon at 10:55 am. Respectfully Submitted by Ed Benter
