Notice for Property Owners
The LSLID Board of Directors would like to inform property owners on Lake Shamineau that we have applied for a permit which will allow us to use hand pull within 150 feet from shore for Eurasian water Milfoil, an invasive species. Pulling is planned for August-September 2023. The method for control will be hand pulling. This will primarily occur in the Northwest Bay. Shoreline property owners may request that removal not occur adjacent to the landowners’ property within 150 feet of the shoreline. If you desire the pulling not occur adjacent to your property, please provide your name, property address and notify the LSLID at the following address or email: Lake Shamineau Lake Improvement District (LSLID) PO Box 394 Motley, MN 56466 Or email [email protected]
Special Board Meeting
State Funding Approved
The LSLID has received news that the Lake Shamineau High Water Outlet Project will receive up to $3 Million through DNR Grant funds. The grant funds were included in the late session appropriations bills that were recently signed by Governor Walz. The language included in the bill states, "...to construct publicly owned capital improvements necessary to prevent or alleviate flooding outlined in the Lake Shamineau High Water Mitigation Project". The funds require a local match and will be used to reduce the final amount to be assessed and charged to the property owners by up to one-half of the currently estimated amounts. Note that final amounts will not be known until after construction is complete.
