In addition, approximately $60,000 of assessment revenue is yet to be credited to the Lake Mitchell account for FY 2008 (July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009), and this revenue will also be used in large part for January through June lake treatment expenses.

The 2009 summer assessment will generate revenue to address expenses after July 1st, 2009, and for the first 6 months of calendar year 2010.

Fund Balance Dec.31, 2007

93,366.49

Included in the income total is $2700 which is annually paid by Selma and Cherry Grove Townships to be used toward control of Eurasian milfoil.

Income for 2007 included both winter and summer collections. In the future the winter collection will be eliminated. If a surplus is accumulated due to reduced expenditures or large collections, assessments may be lowered. Annual income is expected to be about $170,000.

The $84.256 referred to as “PLM deferred” is stated in this way because that was work done before June 30 and bills could not be paid until the summer collection was made.

The $93,366.49 end-of-year balance will be needed to pay off the chemical treatment and harvesting work that will be done before June 30. After that the 2008 summer collection will be used to pay for the rest of the 2008 expenses and leave a similar balance to start 2009.

 


 2006 Financial Record

Assessments

After sending notices to those with lakefront or deeded access to the lake, a public hearing was held on January 13, 2007. After nearly two hours of discussion with the seventy people in attendance, the Lake Mitchell Improvement Board approved raising the assessment to the following level for the years 2007 to 2009:

 

No. Assessment Units

2007-2009 Assessment

Lakefront

1.0

$275/year

Backlot

0.5*

 $138/year

Commercial

2.0

 $550/year

*Backlot unit was also raised from .25 to .50.

This higher assessment will yield approximately $188,000 which will be needed to deal with the approximately 450 acres of Eurasian milfoil that was growing in Lake Mitchell last year. In 2006 we treated 138 acres and harvested 50 acres; the sudden increase in the presence of milfoil last year necessitated the increase in assessments.
