MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 24, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. 15. CARMAN BAY LAKE IMPROVEMENT PUBLIC HEARING — RESOLUTION NO. 6781 -Continued Walsh noted there are specific requirements to put together a LID and that only two bays within the Orono District on Lake Minnetonka can actually create a LID. Walsh stated he is not sure the Old Crystal Bay neighborhood can create one. Walsh noted approximately 75 percent of the residents have signed the petition in favor of creating the Carman Bay LID and that some of those people live in the cove. Walsh stated regardless of which entity does the treatment, people will still pay taxes for it. Dankey commented she used to live on the cove as well as on Kelly Avenue. Dankey stated she applauds the group for getting this going and that she can understand both perspectives. Dankey stated in her view the majority rules and that it is self-imposed private authority group that will make it happen. Seals stated she lives on Stubbs Bay and that it is difficult to see more than two feet down. Seals stated she can understand both perspectives but that she believes the majority rules. Seals stated in her view the City should also pressure the LMCD a little bit about the harvesters. Walsh noted the LMCD's budget is half a million dollars a year and approximately 50 percent of it goes to salaries. Walsh stated he would encourage the residents to attend the LMCD board meetings, but in the meantime, the LID is probably the best shot of getting things done. Seals moved, Dankey seconded, to accept the certified petition for the establishment of the Carman Bay Lake Improvement District, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6781, a Resolution Establishing the Carman Bay Lake Improvement District, and to appoint the initial board of directors listed on Exhibit J for the Carman Bay Lake Improvement District. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. (Recess taken from 8:23 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER REPORT 16.
