Water Structures and Environment Committee July 14, 1990 <br />ENVIRONMENT <br />(Taken Out of Order to accommodate Chair Reese) <br />Reese reported an improvement in weed harvesting progress as <br />the weed harvester repairs are solving problems encountered in <br />the early weeks. The weather is also improving. <br />Reese had two recommendations for committee consideration. <br />He would like information on costs vs. budget on a more timely <br />basis. He also recommends accelerating the harvesting during <br />and August by extending the hours of operation. This would <br />require paying overtime. The funds so expended could be <br />recouped by stopping harvesting in September. <br />The Executive Director said trucking costs will have to be <br />reviewed for overtime considerations if hours are extended. He <br />said the program is within budget on all aspects except equipment <br />Foster moved, Reese seconded, to recommend the Executive <br />Director prepare a more flexible plan of operation. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />Foster was excused. <br />5. Priority Item Study <br />Grathwol noted there are eighteen months left in the <br />multiple dock moratorium. During that time ordinances are being <br />reviewed which affect multiple dock installations and <br />operations.. He suggested the following as priority items to be <br />studi^ Wetland Protection. A review of the national wetland <br />inventory and definitions will be made. It is necessary to <br />define the good wetlands and the bad wetlands. Aerial photos have <br />been taken in conjunction with the milfoil studies. It will be <br />necessary for someone to interpret them. <br />2. Two boat four boat rule. A physical inventory ot <br />properties with more than three boats should be made and cross <br />checked with the aerial photos. . j + <br />3. Inventory of permits. An inventory of permits issued to <br />docks in excess of 100’ and 200'should be made. <br />4. Assembling Information. There should be a collection of <br />positive information which could be used to statistically support <br />the assertions about the Lake use. It was sugpsted applications <br />for special event permits, for example, show the <br />use with a follow-up to show actual use. The oheriff s Water <br />Patrol, charter boat manifests, and reports from parks were <br />suggested as additional lake use data sources. , , . • j <br />5. Lake use laws from comparable states should be acquire <br />for study, such as Georgia, Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin. <br />Grathwol will appreciate input from other committee members.
