To the ILE canal lot owners,

I have tried to find a middle ground for the spraying of weeds in the canals. I had lots of people call me from the August newsletter. The boaters want the middle clear to get the boats in and out of the canals. The fishermen want lily pads around the docks and their shore for the fish to hide and spawn.

I came up with spraying down the middle of the canals, 15 feet from each shore line. I have been asked to discontinue the spraying all together by several community members. There is no way to make everyone happy on this.

I am setting up a meeting for canal lot owners only. We want to take a vote on spraying or not spraying the canals. The meeting will be on the 17th of September at 7pm. We will meet in the ballroom to have a discussion on the pros and cons then take a vote. I will need you to respond to my email that you will be attending, my email is r.watson.dir@ilefl.com.

I look forward to meeting each of you,

Rebecca Watson
