Conservation Commission. They issue permits for each lake and we have to maintain the lakes that desire to remove vegetation beyond the exemption of what state allows. The City only owns the shoreline on Lake Hodge, but we have to have a permit for that lake although we do not manage to entire lake. The Triplet chain of lakes have permitting for the entire chain. We manage hydrilla, floating exotic plants, exotic primrose or navigational purposes vegetation blocking boating access in different areas. We recently submitted our renewal permits for a three years term. About half of them have been returned. This secures our ability to manage the lakes. The hydrilla levels are relatively low. We completed the perimeter treatment around Lake Concord, Secret Lake and portions of North Triplet Lake. This was successful. Grassy Lake is showing some regrowth after the experimental treatment offered by SeaPro. Shoreline related: We have inherited the retention ponds at the golf course. South Triplet and Southcot is where the ponds are located and we restored. Shortly after we had large rainfall which could possible over water the new vegetation. B.

Partnered with Florida Yards and Neighbors that gave a presentation on the Water Cycle and Bee Keeping.

Free plants were given to be used in a test site, used to exclude grass carp, turtles or anything predatory organism that might eat the vegetation. This will be done on Lake Concord.
