We scheduled a meeting for June 18, <br />1991, which will be the first meeting of the full Committee. At <br />that meeting we intend to draft a general purpose statement for <br />the Committee. We also asked to have the City Administrator <br />attend that meeting to discuss with us the progress the City is <br />making on the Shoreland Regulations." <br />Goetten added that the primary concern of, and purpose for, <br />the Lake Use Committee is to address the environmental issues <br />that have an impact on Lake Minnetonka. <br />Jabbour said, "Management with ecology in mind." <br />Mayor Peterson thanked Charlie Kelley for agreeing to serve <br />on the Lake Use Committee. <br />Jabbour stated that he had recently talked with the Mayor of <br />the City of Tonka Bay who expressed concern regarding the <br />increase in the LMCO's financial levy to the 14 Lake Minnetonka <br />CoMiunities. Jabbour stated that the Mayor would be calling a <br />ateeting to discuss that issue and that he believes that the <br />cities need to have a substantial upper hand on what the LMCD <br />does with their budgeting procesj. The Tonka Bay Council's idea <br />of a solution to the problem is to entirely eliminate the LMCD. <br />- 7 - <br />- -.A . . .. .. . . - —
