09/23/2006: RLPOA Fall Meeting summary: Board and about 60+ members in attendance strongly support that the Round Lake water level be managed by an "active system" not passively. RLPOA believes that Sawyer County should pay for a competent independent engineering study to determine what the normal and minimum/maximum level for Round Lake should be if they want to change the prevailing 1941 PSC governing the water level on Round Lake now.
