YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!!! The recent storm left damage to the public beach, Memorial Grove and the yard at the Pavillion. The costs of tree removal is NOT covered by our insurance. On Saturday morning the 21st of July bright and early at 9 am, we will meet on the public beach and begin to restore our beautiful lake surroundings. We need people, chain saws and trailers to move downed trees to the pit. Please consider spending a few hours of your time, talent and resources to contribute to your lake community! Thank you!

New Tree Pit location for remainder of Summer 2018
GOOD NEWS – NEW TREE PIT
Members of the Rec Board, Lake Board, and our land Renter met this morning and determined a new tree disposal area in the south pasture. Get the word out, follow these rules, and directions.
Rules.
1. ONLY TREES, take your building material elsewhere or burn.
2. The old tree pit is CLOSED and off limits.
3. There are white flags that show the route to the pit. Stay within the marked areas. Do not drive all over the pasture.
4. The pit boundary is marked by orange cones, keep piles within them. Try to cut into manageable size in case they have to be moved again.
5. Start dumping on the south side, and work west and north.
6. You can back in from the west. Bring someone with you, there are some large rocks you will want to avoid.
7. The north side has a large rise, only dump from the rise after the pit is getting full. We want the piles as close together to provide as much room as possible.
8. The area will be open until the end of August. Don’t wait until fall to clean up.
Direction.
The area is south of the pavilion road, west of the highway, and north of the dry slough. The gate is directly across from the road to the public beach entering the pasture that is to the south. Follow the little white flags to the orange cones. Please stay within the flags, there is room down there to turn around.

The Brush Lake Recreation District has posted an update on the Brush Lake Sewer Project.
Here’s the latest on the Brush Lake Sewer Project:
JUNE 17 2015
TO BRUSH LAKE CABIN OWNERS
At the annual meeting of the Brush Lake Recreational Service District held on June 6
at Brush Lake, a motion was seconded to allow Ulteig Engineering to do a study of all
cabins on the lake of their existing sewers. This is the first step that needs to be done before a lake
sewer system would be installed. There is a possibility that if we did go ahead we could tie into the
Mercer lagoon, but that has not been discussed yet. This might be an option.
They will report back to us at the annual cabin owners meeting on Labor Day weekend of their results
and any recommendations for the lake as a whole. No further action will be taken without vote of all
cabin owners whether to proceed or not.
Respectfully submitted,
Recreation Service District

Rec District Sewer Project
The City Council of Mercer is creating an Improvement District during their March 19th meeting to start the process of repairing and replacing their city sewer system. The Brush Lake Recreational District had indicated to the Council that they were interested in getting sanitary sewer service to Brush Lake property owners. As a result, the City is considering adding all properties adjacent to Brush Lake in the Improvement Districts planning, project and special assessment process.
I’ve included a scan of the letter sent by Ulteig Engineering in this message for your review here: BRN30055C095BC0_000846
If you have questions about this process or its impact on you as a cabin owner, please direct them to Errol Behm, Brush Lake Recreation District, PO Box 251, Bismarck ND 58502, 701-223-2331 or lindaerrolbehm@yahoo.com.
I’ll invite the Rec District to speak at our next meeting.
