F Pfah a. <br />t; <br />On behalf of the Lake Mlnnatonks Association Board of Directors, I am writing to express our support of <br />the farmation of a Lake Improvement DbUid (LID) for Carman Bay to control EurtAlan Watlermilfoli and <br />other Invasive spedes. <br />In 2008, the Lake Minnetonka Association initiated a Eurasian wattcerrnilfoll control project The project <br />Initially Involved Carman, Grays and Phelps Bays and, as of 2016, expanded to hxiude, North Arta, <br />CaMNO/St. Louis. and Gideon Bays. Local residents eonvibutoe the majoft of funds for this prOj d. <br />The results of the Eurasian waiermiif oil control project has been veru suc¢easU. However, igngoing <br />monitoring and spot t w nrents are necessary to keep Eurasian watermilfoll and ogler Irmsive plants <br />under control and to keep costs manaomble. As the residents of Garman Bay poinited out, asldnIll for <br />phoney every year from their neighbor Is difficult and is not a rdlable source of funding wheriees, the <br />proposed LID provides an equitable and sustainable approach to provide the necessary funds for the <br />orsolngtreabMwas. <br />We appredate the owncnWnert of the residents Of Carman an to keeping the bay healthy and dean <br />and encourage the qty of Orono to support thetr efforts to establish the Cannan Bay Lake improvement <br />owet. <br />Slncerefy, <br />4MInnet <br />DI <br />anke Association <br />CC: LMA Board <br />Kevin Kennefidc, 3241 Casco Circle <br />Steve Nielsm 3300 Carman Road <br />Mary Drawn, 35N Ivy Puce <br />Mary Tucker, 3456 Ivy Piece <br />Mark Kieper, 2695 Kelly Lane <br />P.O.
