v <br />ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 25, 1990 <br />LMCD REPORT CONTINUED <br />28th, to discuss the Lake Management Plan. Hurr stated that she <br />had received Mr. Arndorfer's response to the comments presented <br />by the Lake Minnetonka communities regarding the Plan. She noted <br />that there was no response to Orono's comments included in the <br />document she received. She said that she would try to find out <br />the reason why Orono was overlooked. <br />Mayor Grabek asked Hurr how the LMCD has accepted the <br />comments from Orono and whether the feedback she has been <br />receiving is positive or negative. <br />Hurr replied that there is a lot of support for some of the <br />concerns raised by Orono. She said that there are other cities <br />that have expressed different concerns. <br />Mayor Grabek asked whether there will be additional meetings <br />to discuss the concerns of the 14 Lakeshore Communities other <br />than the June 28th meeting. <br />Hurr indicated that other meetings are likely to be <br />scheduled as one meeting would not provide enough time to review <br />all of the information received from the Lakeshore Cities. <br />Hurr informed Council that a lake tour for City and County <br />Officials has been scheduled for August 4, 1990, from 10:00 a.m. <br />to 1:00 P.M. <br />Hurr reported that the issue of observers for water skiers <br />is scheduled to be heard by the Board. She said that there is a <br />recommendation to have no requirement that an observer be present <br />in a boat when pulling a water skier. Hurr stated that she and <br />other representatives had voted against the recommendation, and <br />prevailed. However, the matter has been put on the agenda for <br />reconsideration. <br />Mayor Grabek asked what State Law requires boaters to do <br />when towing a skier. <br />Hurr replied that the State Law is less restrictive than the <br />LMCD regulations. Hurr. stated that she is concerned about the <br />safety on the Lake and will not change her position unless the <br />City of Orono has a different opinion. <br />It was the consensus of Council that JoEllen maintain her <br />position regarding the need for an observer in the boat when <br />towing a water skier. <br />Callahan questioned whether the issue of licensing juveniles <br />to operate a boat was also on the agenda. He stated that the <br />minutes from the LMCD Lake Use Committee indicated that licensing <br />juveniles was not necessary. <br />• <br />• <br />- 2 - .• <br />
