Update:
Lake Management Board Petition results
January 2020: After careful collection and collating the Lake Management Board petitions were turned into Dexter Township in early December. We received notification from the Township last week that after careful review the number of signatures collected did not exceed the total required to move forward with the Lake Management Board. Hence, at this time there will be no more action to proceed with this approach to lake water quality improvement.

The Silver Lake Property Owner's Association voted to pursue the institution of a Silver Lake Management Board in the effort to control invasive aquatic species and to address other issues related to the quality of the lake. Petitions regarding the formation of a Silver Lake Management Board are being circulated July 25 - October 25.
You will soon receive a packet of information and a petition either in the mail or directly from one of your neighbors who sits on the Association Board. The packet contains:

Each property owner and resident should carefully consider the short and long term benefits and costs of forming a Silver Lake Management Board.
