The Post Lakes Protection & Rehabilitation District voted to hire Flambeau Engineering to complete an updated Comprehensive Lake Management Plan (CLMP) and reviewed 2025 weed‑harvest and aquatic‑plant survey results.
Commissioners approved a motion "To enter into an agreement with Flambeau Engineering (Tiffiney Kleczewski) to submit the completion of the update to the current CLMP by August 1, 2026, for an amount not to exceed $2,250.00." The motion passed unanimously.
Mike Misterek, who presented the weed‑harvest report, told commissioners that the district removed 18,300 cubic feet of weeds in 2025, with a total weight of 2,079 pounds—more than three times the amount removed in 2024. "18,300 cubic feet of weeds were removed for a total weight of 2,079 pounds," the minutes record.
Misterek reviewed harvesting and disposal procedures and said volunteers did “outstanding work.” He also described a disposal error in which a load of harvested weeds was dumped in the wrong location near a grazing area; cows accessed the weeds after breaking a fence. Commissioners agreed to improve volunteer training to avoid similar incidents.
The district will apply for a three‑year harvest permit; that application requires a list of lakefront parcel mailing addresses, and district officials are working with Langlade County to obtain them.
Commissioners also accepted the 2025 Aquatic Plant Survey, which was conducted July 8–10, 2025. The survey documented a single Eurasian watermilfoil plant on the east side of the channel near the entrance to Upper Post; commissioners were advised to monitor that area closely and to include the survey results in the CLMP update. The motion to accept the survey passed unanimously.
The minutes record no immediate management action beyond monitoring and inclusion of survey data in the updated CLMP; contractors and staff will continue preparations for the 2026 harvesting season.
