Notes from Stockbridge Bowl Stewardship Commission

October 1, Hybrid

• Present Jamie Minacci, Chair
• John Loiodice
• Gary Kleinerman
• Roxanne McCaffrey
• Charlie Kenny via Zoom
• Also present Michael Buffoni, Water Superintendent

1. Kleinerman reported representatives from Lake Onota visited Stockbridge Bowl. Although a larger lake, Onota does about 1/2 the boat washing that the Bowl does and wanted to study our process
2. Buffoni did water testing last day in September and reported water cloudy, perhaps conditions present for Cyanobacteria bloom
3. McCaffrey wanted "an inventory of wildlife within the [lake] ecosystem". She estimated it would be expensive and take years. Buffoni reminded her that the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife of the Commonwealth did such a study. He distributed it and volunteered to resend.
4. No new information about dredging
5. Parks and Recreation not present
6. Agreed to meet once a month in off-season (apparently in the bylaw)
7. Kleinerman said he had an underwater camera and offered it if anyone wants to use it

Meeting adjourned
