Discussion: Barbara Nichols did the lake measurements on April Is' and 15t".The levels were 55.9 and 55.8 ft. above sea level with 22 and 19 inches of water flowing over the board closest to the lake. There were 12 inches of water in the stream by the stairs both times. The water has not been this high since July 2013 and erosion is occurring along the shoreline. Herring have been seen as far rip as the run at Rt. 130. We are still receiving storms with large amounts of rain which is keeping the levels high. Because of the high water, there are several dock pieces pushed up along the shore between the fish way and Attaquin Beach. Debi also has a small dingy washed up near her shore. The Harbormaster will need to remove the debris before the boating season gets busy. Conclusions: The water level at 55.9 Ft. above sea level is the highest it has been since July 2013. [Agenda topic 2] Spring;Newsletter Discussion: Barbara presented the newsletter as she has completed it so far. With the harborirnaster's report, and paddleboard article, there still remains one page to fill. Suggestions were to see if Diane Lang had an article about Lowell Holly, or repeat one on boating safety. Conclusions: Barbara will contact Diane Lang for news of Lowell Holly Reservation.
