The Council also adopted the Resolution of Intention to Order Improvements and set the date for the Public Hearing for August 3, 2009. The purpose of the Public Hearing is to receive any comments on the Annual Report. A description of work is part of the Engineer's Annual report. As for next year, the work to be accomplished is the continued incremental selective removal of cattails in the lagoon, the removal of non-native plants and the reintroduction of native plants. Public Works staff has been meeting with the Homeowners Association on a regular basis to discuss issues related to the Lagoon's condition. These meetings have been very productive in .directing the type of work that the lagoon requires to maintain a healthy environment. Presently the HOA is paying for the maintenance of lagoon plantings at its own expense and accruing assessment monies in order to pay for pump station improvements. These improvements include new motor controls at the Cayes Pump Station that will automatically adjust the lagoon water levels and improve water quality. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact.
