REQUEST FOR PAYMENT TO SUNSET LAKE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION FOR MILFOIL TREATMENT Diane Coderre, president of the Sunset Lake Homeowners Association, requested payment in the amount of $200 from the City for water milfoil treating on Sunset Lake. A letter sent to the City explained that since the City is a property owner on the lake, it should be responsible for sharing in the cost of treatment of the water milfoil. This is the first that the City has received a request for payment from the association. Although the City is a property owner on the lake, the public access has been closed for more than two years, and the remaining parcel is located on the south end of the lake, at which there is no public access.
