As a result, the Board aoDroved the license <br />with the dock extending to a maxjnum af ZOO feet. The owner of <br />the Marina was given a specific .ine taole in wh'cn to oring the <br />dock into conformance. She noted that tne dock currently extends <br />487 feet, and that the LMCD ha'i asked the Drone City Staff <br />Attorney to proceed with the legal orccess if <br />violation of the license. <br />ne ov/ner 1JL < t <br />Hurr reported that to d^*-e, mere have been five BWI's <br />issued, and two accidents, nei er of which resulted in personal <br />injury. She informed Council that a tentative budget has b^_en <br />proposed by the LMCD and should be mailed to each city this week, <br />to provide the opportunity for cities to have input during the <br />process. <br />Callahan asked Hurr what the City of Crono w’ll be asK-*d to <br />contribute this year. <br />Hurr replied, "The levy to the LMCD cities has not yet been <br />determined. The Milfoil continues to be a problem. Hennepin <br />County did not fund the project this year; last year they <br />contributed $85,000. There is a feeling on the Board that the <br />LftCD cities should be prepared to fund the Milfoil removal <br />efforts. I am not convinced of that. At this time, there is <br />only money to harvest weeds for approximately 30 days." <br />Butler asked if the increased water level of Lake Minnetonka <br />would help the Milfoil problem somewhat, given the fact the weed <br />v/ill only grow in water less than 18 feet deep. <br />Hurr agreed it would help somewhat, but that there \/ill be a <br />greater concentration of tne weed closer to the shore. <br />Jabbour wanted to take this opportunity to thank JoEllen and <br />the LMCD Board for taking the position they did on the Lakeside <br />flarina license. He added, "The LMCD Board asked me if Orono <br />could provide any help regarding the issue of Styrofoam- Perhaps <br />Staff can do some research into this issue in the future." <br />Hurr confirmed that the LMCD intends to pursue the Styrofoam <br />issue. <br />Mayor Peterson suggested discussing Agenda item #14, Lake <br />Use Committee at this time, in light of JoEllen Hurr's presence. <br />(#14)LAKB USB COMMITTEE <br />Mayor Peterson suggested appointing JoEllen Hurr to the Lake <br />Use Committea, if she would be willing to serve. <br />Hurr accepted, saying thac in her opinion a Lake Use <br />Conunittee would give the Orono. v/hich has 30% of Lake Minnetonka <br />- 4 -
