Bgk 66 Orono, MN 55391 Re:June 19 Meeting to Review Draft LMCD Plan -- Canceled Dear Mr. Callahan; At the May 29 meeting of Lake Minnetonka mayors and city officials held in Wayzata, t was decided to tenutively schedule a follow-up meeting on June 19.

By '.he way, 11 cities have agreed to sign the new agreement We are fast approaching the deadline of the second extension authorized by the LMCD on the Metropolitan Cbuacirs review of the Management Plan.
