2.         Emergency Erosion Control Work at Wetzel Lake
	Janet Person apprised the Committee on the need to implement immediately some stormwater and erosion control works at the end of the new parking area at Wetzel Lake.  Janet distributed a cost estimate and a sketch of the proposed drainage facilities.  Work will also include an explanatory sign for the park.  Janet noted that development of the parking area has resulted in runoff that created a gulley in the beach area.  To prevent further enlargement of the gulley, a subsurface drainage system is being proposed.
	Motion by Bernie Blackmore, seconded by Mike Crawford, to authorize emergency expenditures of $2,078.60 by the Antrim Conservation District for soil erosion and stormwater runoff control, and a future use explanatory sign at the Wetzel Lake park.  Motion Passed – unanimous.
