There were two choices given to each homeowner:
The trustees wanted to have all votes recorded no matter if the vote was for or against the project.
The contract has been negotiated and thoroughly reviewed. Plans are to drain the pond during mid August 97. When it is dry enough to commence digging the project will go to full swing. We estimate 275 dump truck loads of muck will be dug out and hauled to a local landfill. The result will be a twelve foot deep pond with the proper slope to keep weeds from growing along the shore. The Missouri Conservation department has given much advice on how to do this project properly. They will also stock the pond with bass, bluegill and catfish for free. This will not require us to let the public fish in our pond. It is still private property.
Remember there are two main goals of the trustees.
This is our pond as exists in July 97. The covering is duckweed. Depth of the pond is four feet at the deepest point. Note that eight feet is required to sustain life, other than algae.
