I attended the RCWD (Rice Creek Watershed District) meeting today. They had a discussion on the Bald Eagle Lake dam replacement. It seems that the DNR is going to fund $160k and RCWD is
going to kick in $120K. Hugo is expected to leave in their $120K.
With MNDOT contributing $252K, we have a total dam fund of $652K. The updated construction estimate is $637,263. Hugo needs to accept the grant at their meeting, probably on Oct. 22.
Should be a go for next year.
On another note:
If some of you still have your boat lift with canopy in the water and the seagulls are loving it, you might want to consider getting the Gull Buster. It is a small local company. The seagulls were loving my canopy several years ago and made an absolute mess of it. I've had the Gull Buster for two years now and the canopy is as clean as can be. It has four extendable diagonal posts and you run fishing line around the 4 posts and diagonal across the posts. I can still take the canopy off without removing it.
