Laminar Flow Aeration System - Installation Update
The LFA System installation work continued this week, despite the cold and sometimes wet conditions. As many of you may have observed, EverBlue methodically located aerator positions on the South Lake via GPS, followed by another EverBlue crew installing diffusers and airlines. All the aerators and airlines for South Lake have now been installed. A similar process will begin on North Lake on Monday.
On shore, a separate crew is running airlines into the trenches readied by our hardworking Maintenance Staff. Thanks again to Ted and Rick for a great job! Installation work also continued at the seven compressor locations, as system controls continue to be installed and the underground boring work was completed. On Tuesday, the Township approved our rough electrical inspections at each compressor location. Consumers Energy has now released work orders for some of the locations. We are pushing hard to complete this process. Our goal remains to test-fire the entire system by mid-to-late November.
Finally, ecologists were on-site Thursday to evaluate and survey the tributaries that contribute nutrient loading into the lakes. The team also scouted locations for demonstration projects involving planting of native vegetation to control shoreline erosion in an environmentally sound manner. This group is helping us prepare a comprehensive plan for a December submission to EGLE.
It is truly amazing to watch this important project coming together in real time!
Please note: Water Quality Improvement Special Assessment funds are dedicated exclusively to saving our lakes and property values through implementation of this project. We understand that these are challenging times, but we need everyone’s participation to make this effort work.

NEW DATE !
Dear LLPOA Members,
We were notified today that the Hillsdale County Drain Commission will begin lowering the lakes to the court ordered Winter Levels on both of our basins on Monday, October 26th.
The drawdown should take between seven to ten days to complete. Our North Basin will be lowered approximately nine inches and our South Basin will be lowered approximately six inches.
Please take the necessary precaution to ensure that if you still have vessels in the water they will not be impacted by lower water level and become stranded.
Hope you enjoyed this past season on our lakes, looking forward to next year!

Background/History: At the June 9, 2019 Annual Meeting, the Motion K for Remote Communication Participation failed.
The LLPOA Bylaws do not state that communication at any meeting must be in person.
Action: Section 521(3) of the Nonprofit Corporation Act (MCL 450.2521) (link to Section 521) provides that, "unless otherwise restricted in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, a member of the board or of a committee designated by the board may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or other means of remote communication if all individuals who are participating in the meeting can communicate with the other participants," and that participation in a meeting under this subsection constitutes attendance in person at the meeting."
Therefore, to be in compliance with the Nonprofit Corporation Act, the Board moved to acknowledge Section 521(3) of the Nonprofit Corporation Act and approve remote communication for Board Members at Board and Committee Meetings, as well as in Closed Session.
