Good evening neighbors,

I just wanted to let you know that the Soo Lake Untied Association board met last night at my home. We had several topics to discuss, including the shelter. We discussed many options. We are checking the past meeting minutes to verify which meeting the shelter was voted on. After we locate that piece of information, the board will recommend a proposed change of plans for the boat landing improvements. We are not going to build a shelter as planned and voted on earlier. Instead, we are going to encourage the membership to vote on placing a couple of picnic tables on a cement slap close to the water (with zoning approval), with one charcoal grill. We are also going to propose to expand the parking lot for better parking of boat trailers and lake visitors. Half of the cost of shelter project was already approved from the Town of Elk township. This will be on the agenda at the next town board meeting to see if we can get their pledge of money to go toward the parking lot expansion and picnic tables. The results of that meeting will also be discussed at our next lake association meeting.

I want to thank you for your patience in this issue and your ideas for other options to improve the boat landing that we share with everyone.

Good evening Soo Lake members,

This afternoon I met with the dam’s keeper, highway commissioner, head engineer, DNR representative, and the owner of the construction crew at Weimer’s dam. The construction crew are working on the back side of the dam structure now, which may only slightly affect our water levels. This is usually from Monday thru Wednesday during the week. The installation of the new stainless gates is going to be delayed because of material shortage. The contractor said he thought it could be up to 12 weeks yet before everything would be ready for installation. This means that the drawdown for the project will be around mid to late October. Although we all know that periodic maintenance on the dam is certainly necessary, we will still be able to enjoy the lake through August and September (including Labor Day). Another meeting will be planned in about a month from now to get another update for October. I will keep you informed as I find out more information. 

Get out an enjoy the next couple of months on Soo Lake.
