The Lake Improvement Board (LIB) of Bear Lake wants to hear from the public tomorrow night, as it starts to decide its budget for the next five years. According to a letter sent out to those within the Special Assessment District, "the purpose of the hearing will be to review the special assessment roll for the purpose of maintaining the existing lake improvement project, and hear any objections." Only those within the Special Assessment District pay for current Eurasian water milfoil treatment and, potentially other invasive aquatic species and related expenses. The relevant properties have frontage on Bear Lake or access to it.
The letter also says that "the maximum amount of the Special Assessment will be determined at the July 19 hearing and may exceed the maximum amount of the Special Assessment levied in previous years." It is not clear from the letter how much additional funding allowance the LIB is seeking or contemplating.
The hearing will take place at the offices of the Manistee County Road Commission, which is located at 8946 Chippewa Highway, on the corner of US-31 and Nine Mile Road, just south of Bear Lake. The hearing starts at 7pm. Those who cannot attend are asked to send questions or comments to: Lake Improvement Board of Bear Lake, 13171 Hopkins Forest Drive, Bear Lake, MI 49614
