Field Manager
Mr. Scheerer: We fared pretty well with the hurricane, there were a few minor items that were repaired relatively quickly.

A resident at 11837 Sunsail near the new Phase 2 pond has contracted me about a midge issue. I informed her that it is a new pond under construction, they are still building around there and that we currently have no funding for midge control in any of the ponds within the District. I told her I would bring that to the Board's attention. They are probably going to be turning that pond over to the District soon and it will be mowed and maintained on a regular basis as well as the aquatics will be treated for invasive vegetation. We don't have midge protocols in place and no funding in the budget for that.
Mr. Franklin: Have you had that problem in other Districts?
Mr. Scheerer: There is a District in St. Cloud and we had one pond, newly constructed, surrounded by a wetland and a preserve and we had some problems with that.
Mr. Madlang: Could this be exasperated by the inordinate amount of rain we have had? Mr. Scheer: Yes, we had two hurricanes that brought a lot of rain.
Mr. Bell: Monitor the situation and if it persists, we can get pricing.
