Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the Orono Lake Improvement District (OLID), a Lake
Improvement District established by Order of the Elk River City Council, pursuant to Minn. Statute
103B.501 et seq., will be held at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, August 23, 2022 at Elk River City Hall,
13065 Orono Parkway, Elk River, MN 55330. All Lake Orono property owners as OLID members are
invited to attend. Registration to vote starts at 6:00 PM.
The meeting agenda will include:
• Review the purpose of the Orono Lake Improvement District
• Provide a Treasurer’s Report and status reports on 2022 projects
• Review and discuss the proposed 202 3 projects and budget
• Approve the proposed 2023 Orono Lake Improvement District budget; approve projects having
a cost to the district in excess of $5000
• Election of two directors
• Take up and consider any other business as may come before the OLID
The annual meeting is also an opportunity to meet other lake property owners, get updates on
tracking sediment build-up for future dredging projects, water quality, aquatic invasive species,
undesirable native plant overgrowth (like the current unfortunate explosion of Water star-grass),
and algae management efforts.
All meeting materials will be posted as soon as they are available on our website: https://oronolid.org/,
(e.g. agenda, minutes, financial and other reports, proposed 2023 projects, budget and an absentee
ballot for the director election that must be received at the OLID address below by August 22, 2022).
Nominations may be made from the floor at the annual meeting. All nominees made from the floor at
the annual meeting must be present and nominees must state their interest/qualifications. Although
desirable to have balanced representation from all four sections of Lake Orono, the OLID bylaws
approved on August 27, 2020 do not require it. There are no “slots” to fill for each lake section.
Those eligible to vote on the proposed budget and director elections are Lake Orono riparian or
deeded access property owners whose name appears on the latest Sherburne County tax statement.
