The cost of milfoil treatment is covered for this year but next year is a challenge. R. Tilton poses the idea of creating a nonprofit to funnel money into for lake management. D. Anson says he is not sure if that is a viable option but will check with the City Manager about it. Discussion begins about who to ask for money. The commission and R. Tilton agree that the businesses around the lake along with private property owners and HOAs should be approached about donating money to milfoil control. Special emphasis to put on what will happen to these various parties if the lake becomes choked is a main agreement point. R. Tilton will work on with P. Taylor in getting a draft letter created. P. Taylor also says that various other towns use social [Type here] https://www.laconianh.gov/AgendaCenter/GenerateMinutesFile?id=580&agendaID=7371/2 6/13/2018 6/6/2018 - Minutes  media to help combat milfoil.
