He does not believe he will have to ask Board for an emergency appropriation. C. Reese asked for the Board's opinion about scattered cutting of small areas using two machines. A given city could be asked to operate the shore conveyer and haul the milfoil away in their trucks. Foster mentioned a successful harvest in St. Louis 3ay with the cooperation of Deephaven. While the scattered method is not efficient, it has recreational value. Members commented that this would be a good use of some of the equipment and crew. Reese moved. Foster seconded, to designate the Eurasian Water Milfoil Weed Control Program project manager and executive director to take the responsibility for setting the milfoil cutting schedule, taking into consideration recommendations by ho^rd members and other responsible partius. The executive director to consider scattered cutting when requested by a city, when the city will provide the trucks and labor for removal of the weeds Motion carried unanimously. D.

E. The executive director, using his discretion, will use part of the $2,000 allocated for chemical treatment to employ a crew member to use the Suburban truck and trailer to clean up the if^^ds from public accesses. It will cost about $50 a part day in direct labor, Strommen estimated. This will tie in with the DNR declaring 7/20 Milfoil Awareness Day. The DNR will be at access points to stress cleaning milfoil from boats. F. The Board discussed a letter directed to the Water Patrol, Oayle’s Marina and the LMCD suggesting the LMCD should be ticketed for improper parking of the harvesters. Lefevere said that while the District should be mindful of its Ordinances, reasonableness has to be applied to the Ordinance. Most cities allow temporary parking of construction vehicles where they are working. He suggested putting something in the Ordinance to allow certain kinds of watercraft to be parked at the point of use. , , - r *Cochran directed the Lake Use Committee to look for a future resolution or ordinance to allow contractors to leave their equipment at a work site on the Lake. and ANNOUNCEMENT Cochran announced that at the conclusion of the agenda Board will meet in executive session to discuss litigation. the i
