The MOU was unveiled May 5 by County Executive PJ Wendel in a press conference in Mayville. The MOU is an update to the 2019 Chautauqua Lake agreement, which expired at the end of April.
The purpose of the MOU is for the numerous Chautauqua Lake stakeholders to work together to keep Chautauqua Lake economically and ecologically healthy. As was the case with the MOA, the MOU will have a two-year term.
The MOU was sent to the village board prior to Monday’s regular meeting, and the board unanimously agreed for Mayor Randy Holcomb to sign and execute the MOU.
