-2- <br /> 3. Mechanical harvesting of the weed. A device to mechanically <br /> harvest this weed does exist. The Extension Service is still <br /> investigating this device. When they complete their investigation <br /> Iwill let you know of their findings. <br /> TENTATIVE CONCLUSION <br /> If mechanical harvesting is both economically feasible and practical <br /> this might be a reasonable thing to do. We should know this soon. If this <br /> is impractical then we might resort to a winter drawdown. From what I have be <br /> advised, chemical treatment does not seem to be the thing to do. <br /> The County is under no legal obligation to do anything about this conditi <br /> as well as I can tell . We own the Lake, and the water but recreational rights <br /> belong to Lake Orange Inc. For the Moment, at least, the only damage the <br /> County is incurring is that cause& by the reduced water capacity of the Lake. <br /> I know of no way to measure how %ignificant this reduction is. <br /> • COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br /> Easement Appraisals <br /> Purchase order for appraisal services have been given to three qualified <br /> persons to appraise right of way damage caused by the taking of a portion of <br /> property for the construction Of about two miles of roadway in the Northern <br /> Fairview Community.

We <br /> hope to have selected a person to fill this position by the end of the first <br /> week in April . <br /> TENTATIVE BUDGETS <br /> Social Services <br /> Public Health <br /> Child Support Enforcement <br /> We are submitting to you for tentative approval budgets for Social SerN <br /> Public Health and Child Support Enforcement as the Boards tentative endorse <br />
