The Post Lakes Protection & Rehabilitation District voted unanimously on May 16 to hire Flambeau Engineering to complete an updated Comprehensive Lake Management Plan (CLMP) by Aug. 1, 2026, for an amount not to exceed $2,250.
The vote followed a report that, because the district harvests aquatic vegetation, state DNR guidance requires a CLMP update every five years. Treasurer Tim Prunty presented the Flambeau proposal and the board approved entering into the agreement to ensure the district meets the update deadline.
The board also accepted the district’s July 8–10, 2025 aquatic plant survey. The survey summary included a single specimen of the invasive Eurasian watermilfoil found near the east side of the channel entrance into Upper Post; commissioners instructed staff and volunteers to monitor that area closely as the district incorporates the survey into the CLMP update.
Weed-harvesting contractor Mike Misterek told commissioners that the 2025 harvest removed 18,300 cubic feet of vegetation, weighing 2,079 pounds — more than three times the reported 2024 removal. He described volunteer efforts and noted a disposal mistake in 2025 when a load of weeds was dumped at a site near grazing cattle; the cows broke down a fence to access the weeds. Misterek said the district will improve volunteer training and is applying for a three-year harvest permit; the permit application requires a list of lakeshore parcel mailing addresses, which district staff will obtain from Langlade County.
Board members also reviewed routine business. Treasurer Tim Prunty reported year-to-date balances as of Feb. 28, 2026: total assets $81,021.21; liabilities $53.54; total equity $80,967.67. Year-to-date income was $9,138.94, expenses $5,430.05, producing net income of $3,708.89. A motion to approve the Treasurer’s report passed.
The board recorded non-action items for follow-up, including an offer from Misterek to assist with the district’s '.gov' email domain.
The district scheduled its next quarterly meeting for May 16, 2026, at the PLIA Building; the meeting adjourned at 11:16 a.m.
