He <br />also noted that the management plan cites the DNR as the lead <br />agency in this matter. <br />It was moved by Callahan, that the Council support the <br />establishment of the Task Force by the LMCD, which will include <br />the other 14 member cities, the LMLOA and any other interested <br />parties, to study the lake access issue, and that the Council <br />exclude support for the grant application to fund the purchase of <br />property for access and not support the purchase of the Straley <br />property for a boat launch. There was not a second to this motion. <br />Moorse asked the Council if the resolution were changed to not be <br />site specific, would they support it. <br />i Ca I I ahan noted that i f i n the future i t was determined that funding <br />was needed, they would then deal with that issue.
