5190.1 <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />DATE: May 8, 1990 <br />. SUBJECT: Lake Use Management <br />Lake Management Governance <br />INTRODUCTION - The LMCD has been the primary agency for <br />governance on the lake since its conception in 1967. The <br />proposed 25 year plan indicates a new posture for LMCD of being <br />the catalyst or lead agency to coordinate the work of other <br />agencies who have rights, interest or responsibility on the lake. <br />They see themselves as orchestrating joint efforts for <br />improvement of the lake. <br />In recapping the alternatives available as outlined in the <br />General Philosophy area there are as follows: <br />1. LMCD as presently situated <br />2. LMCD as proposed in the 25 year plan <br />3. Allow the County to create a Lake Management District <br />4. Have a joint powers agreement among the cities to <br />handle lake management. <br />5. Let DNR "do as they want" along with the other <br />independent agencies without there being an overall <br />agency for managing of the lake. <br />Alternate Arrangements for LMCD - Currently LMCD is governed by a <br />14 member board with one board member representing each of the 14 <br />cities. As such, although Orono has 30 or 40% of the lakeshore <br />on the lake, receives only about a 7 1/2% share of the vote. <br />Alternative schemes to this that have been advanced or could be <br />Utilized are: <br />A. Expansion of the Board from 14 to 19 members with the <br />additional 4 seats going Metropolitan agencies.. <br />! <br />rr~*r- <br />* .-4 -
