Protective Association June 2014

The next Glen Lake Protective Association meeting is

Monday, June 9 @ The Docksider Restaurant.

Appetizers and socializing start at 6 pm and the meeting at 7 pm.

We encourage everyone to attend our meetings.

Herbicide Treatment to control milfoil and pondweed: In early to mid June, we anticipate spot treating small areas of the lake with the herbicide Aquathol Super K that has been successfully used in recent years to control invasive and nuisance aquatic vegetation. When information on the specific treatment areas become available, we will post the treatment areas on our website [www.ny-glenlake.org]. On the day of the treatment, streets along the perimeter of the lake will be posted with signs and the GLPA will post it on our website and FaceBook page. There are potable water use restrictions associated with this treatment. The GLPA has limited funds to supply drinking water. If you need drinking water, have questions or need additional information, please call Paul Derby at 518-761-7015.

Constitution Changes: At the June meeting, the membership will vote on changes to the GLPA Constitution and Bylaws that would extend terms for Officer elected positions form one (1) year to two (2) years. The change would also stagger elections for Officers, as is currently done with Directors. There was unanimous positive acceptance of these changes during the discussion at the May meeting.

THANK YOUS: to the Millers and all who helped out on Road Cleanup Day. And thanks to the Milne clan (we love you, Don) and Bill Clark for setting the Milfoil Warning Buoys at the inlet.

Please stay outside of the Milfoil Warning Buoyed Area at the inlet. The invasive plant Eurasian Milfoil spreads by fragmentation. When boats or jet skis go into the beds, the pieces break off and spread throughout the lake. Please also remind your guests and renters to stay outside the buoyed area.

PLEASE DON’T FEED THE DUCKS and GEESE. It is not good for them and overpopulations make a mess of our properties and can lead to Swimmer’s Itch. Again, please inform your guests and renters not to feed the waterfowl.

Respectfully, Paul Derby, president
