RE: November 13, 2023 Meeting
1. Update on Pratt Trail reconstruction project
Jennifer Haas, Ph.D., Archaeological Research Laboratory Center Director, will
provide the Board with an update on the archaeological work associated with the
Pratt Trail road reconstruction project.
2. Approve Fish Sticks installation by the Wisconsin Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) in various sites in Miller’s Bay Menominee Park
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has approached the City
to request the installation of fish sticks at various sites in Miller’s Bay Menominee
Park. A map indicating potential locations within Miller’s Bay is included in
your packet.
Fish Sticks projects are intended to restore woody habitat in lakes by adding
trees to the near-shore area. They are large woody habitat structures that utilize
whole trees either grouped together or single trees that result in the placement of
more than 1 tree per 50 feet of shoreline. Fish Sticks structures are anchored to
the shore and are partially or fully submerged near the shoreline of a lake.
Documentation is provided in your packets with general information regarding
this project. DNR staff will be on hand at the meeting to present further
information and to answer any questions regarding the placement of these fish
sticks.
If you have questions prior to the meeting, please feel free to contact me at 236-5080.
If you will not be able to attend the meeting, please contact Hannah Schueler,
Administrative Assistant, at 236-5080. Thank you in advance.
