Message from the Chairperson

2025 ANNUAL MEETING 

The fourth Annual Meeting of the Silver Lake Management District was held on Saturday, May 24th.  Attendance exceeded 85 people, the largest yet.

The first order of business was the vote on the resolution to expand the Board to seven members from the current five.  After considerable discussion, the resolution was defeated.

Larry Kohn was elected Commissioner and will serve a three-year term.

Attendees heard presentations of the District's programs: Invasive Species, Water Safety Patrols, Lake Levels/Dam, and Water Quality.  Going forward, volunteers will work with Board members on the programs.

The 2026 Annual Budget was approved; it has a 10% reduction in the tax levy from prior years.  Click here for a copy.

A study to assess factors possibly affecting the lake's water quality was also approved in concept.  The Board will review a specific proposal at its September meeting.

Additional details can be found here in the pending meeting minutes.

Lake district officers for the next year were chosen by the Board at its meeting immediately following the Annual Meeting: Jim Purinton-Chairman, Harry Laws-Treasurer, Larry Kohn-Secretary.

Have a safe and and enjoyable summer on Silver Lake!

Jim Purinton, Chairman
