DICK MURRAY - VBWD LAKE JANE FLOODING: Mr. Murray reported that City Park Pond has reached the maximum permitted height of 910", and the diesel pump has been turned off. Lakes Olson and Demontreville are presently at overflow. Valley Branch requested permission to pump an additional one foot into City Park Pond which, Valley Branch believes, would provide a level on Jane that the electric pump could handle should there be a heavy rain and Demontreville and Olson would over -flow. They anticipate it will take two weeks for City Park Pond to reach 911. --Fraser - noted. at the request of Valley Branch, City Park Pond has been raised 71 this year. Asked Mr. Murray about additional tree loss with the and foot increase. --Murray - estimates 100 trees damaged for every foot increase. --Tom Hilpish - lives on Sunfish Lake - recalled previous discussion about stopping the pumping on Lake Jane once Sunfish Lake reached a certain elevation.

Also, encourage Valley Branch to further pursue alternatives to the present pumping into City Park Pond. Discussion - --Murray - regarding the proposed alternatives - only two feasible and cost effective. One is to lower the level of Olson and Demontreville. They are preparing a proposal for DNR approval that would provide a gate valve operation to let water outlet from the wier during late fall after flooding danger is over. The second is to channel the water down to Eagle Point for storage. He noted that none of the other alternatives were cost effective. The level of Sunfish Lake is presently 896.5. --Everette Beaubien - lives on Sunfish Lake - was told previously by the City that when Sunfish reached 884 the pump on Jane would be turned off. Has lost 20 acres of land and water is now threatening his septic system and is up to the large cottonwood trees (previously assured the water would never reach these trees).
