pond<\/u><\/strong>: dave klemp had sent a history of the pond.\u00a0 ben explained that what we have is a retention pond, not a pond put in for esthetics.\u00a0 due to run-off from various sources, we should not have to worry about or place extra expense into cleaning weeds\/algea out.\u00a0 it has also been suggested if we have huge issues with it, we should get winnebago cty involved since they are using it to collect run-off from the highway ditches too. also, should continue to have muskrats removed to protect banks \u2013 we believe brad has a friend doing that but that needs to be verified.<\/p>\n

landscaping:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 beverly raatjes and many others plus \u2018weed patrol\u2019 volunteers have done a great job and we have gotten many many compliments.<\/p>\n
