September 19, 1990 <br />LMCD Plan <br />Mayors, City Council Members and Managers <br />The City of Orono remains opposed to the LMCD long-range <br />management plan in its present form. A copy of our response to <br />the LMCD is attached for your information. <br />We believe that this plan remains of great concern to all of <br />the lake communities, despite the fact that in the revised draft <br />the LMCD has, in our opinion, clarified its intentions, better <br />organized its proposed plans of action, and made every effort to <br />explain its intentions, which may have been misunderstood from <br />the original draft. We believe they have attempted to respond to <br />the concerns expressed by Orono and other communities, but, the <br />disagreement between us on the general philosophy and anticipated <br />outcome of implementing the plan remains unresolved. <br />While we have no desire to interfere with the decisions of <br />each of you on whether to support the plan, we ourselves do not <br />believe it should be supported. We urge you to familiarize <br />yourself as much as possible with its terms and the philosophy <br />underlying the plan, and to take conscious action to instruct <br />your LMCD representative about your wishes before September 26th. <br />Whether you ultimately decide to support or reject the plan, <br />we would also like to say to you that Orono regards this event <br />(tho consideration of the LMCD plan) as a strong reminder of the <br />inter-dependence of our lake communities, and of the necessity of <br />the community representatives to keep in close and if possible, <br />harmonious touch with their neighboring communities and affairs. <br />We are in receipt of the letter from the City c Wayzata <br />dated September 14th. The idea expressed of a meeting on the <br />subject to the LMCD Plan is an idea we had ourselves incorporated <br />in the actions at our City Council meeting of September 10th, as <br />some of you may have seen in the local press. We believe that a <br />meeting such as proposed in Mr. Gisvold's letter is a good idea. <br />Sincerely, <br />h-rrus <br />JRG/tln <br />Tames R. Grabek, <br />Mayor of Orono
