I think trie L:�1CD is willing too modify the <br />Shoreland Management so that it is viewed only as a model <br />ordinance, in which they would have no responsibility or <br />interest, other than coordinating a s.horeland grant process. The <br />City of Orono of has applied separately, and it appears that the <br />D:1R will approve our separate application, once it is kno;,7n how <br />many cities prefer to apply through the LMCD. The LMCD is <br />willing to amend the Plan so that the Board structure remains the <br />same, and that they will not seek taxing authority., apart from <br />the 14 cities. Lastly.. I believe we generated some interest on <br />the part of . Minnetonka Beach and Mound as it relates to what <br />status this plan has visavis other agencies." <br />Bernhardson s::att=-d t:aat there will be an u- -)coming work <br />session involving staff member=s from each of the 14 cities and <br />the LMCD. <br />Jabbour s rated that i = is important to have the <br />representatives from the !.4 communities work together with the <br />Staff members from the respective cities. <br />Council accepted the information presented by Bernhardson, <br />and took no formal action. <br />( #20)STRATEGIC PLANNING <br />Council accepted the information presented by Bernhardson, <br />regarding 1991 Strategic Planning, and took no further action. <br />- 26 - <br />
