APPENDIX A - 2007 “Save the Lake” BUDGET NOTES (ADOPTED)

Detailed below is a summary of key expenditures in the adopted 2007 “Save the Lake” Budget:

  • Total expenditures for the 2007 Solar Buoy Lights Program are $2,000 (line item 2c).  No “Save the Lake” funds were spent on this program in 2006 and there is a need to include funding for replacement of some of the existing solar buoy lights, with the possibility of purchasing new solar buoy lights to expand the program.
  • Total expenditures for the 2007 Public Access Inspection Mussel Program are projected to be $31,680 (line item 3a).  The primary funding source for this program includes $25,000 from the Exotics Budget.  The remaining balance ($6,680) has been included in the 2007 “Save the Lake” Budget.
  • Total expenditures for the 2007 Internet Landing Installed Device Sensors (I-LIDS) Project are $35,376 (line item 3c).  One I-LIDS unit will be installed from May 12th through October 11th at the Grays Bay, Maxwell Bay, North Arm, and Spring Park public accesses.  All work and activities conducted by Environmental Sentry Protection, LLC must be done in compliance with the signed Agreement with the LMCD.  The LMCD is currently seeking grant funding to reduce the amount of 2007 “Save the Lake” funds dedicated to this project. 
  • Total expenditures for the 2007 Winter Ice-Cleanup project are $800 (line item 3d).  These expenditures include for: 1) the renting of a dumpster(s), 2) modest funding for use of equipment provided by the volunteers (primarily fuel), and 3) a gift certificate for each volunteer that donates their time for this project.
  • Total expenditures for the 2007 Voluntary Safety Program are $300 (line item 4c).  “Save the Lake” has committed $250 for the purchase of flags, and an additional $50 for contingency purposes, in conjunction with this project.
