10.Orono does not favor increased taxes for Uie LMCD for the purpose of <br />carrying out the proposed plan [Orono's emphasis.] <br />Sub-point: <br />a. Unless the funds are to be spent for an agreed-upon purpose which <br />existing agencies have not and cannot carry out, the funds should <br />not be sought. <br />RESPONSE <br />The <br />2. <br />These are <br />carry out <br />funds raised for the increased taxes are to be spent for: <br />1. Increased water patrol when there are no alternative funding <br />sources. <br />Enforcement of LMCD existing regulatory programs that cannot be <br />enforced with existing staff and funds. <br />Enforcement of DNR and Watershed District regulatory permit <br />programs that are not being enforced now. <br />Enforcement of wetland, shoreland and other environmental <br />protections that do not now exist. <br />agreed upon purposes which existing agencies have not and cannot <br />3. <br />4. <br />11.In summary, the LMCD has identified the issues, but it does not have <br />satisfactory or definitive solutions. The consequences of the proposed <br />solutions are unknown, and appear inimical to the future of the lake <br />and LMCD itself. <br />RESPONSE: <br />We have no answer for this except that numerous individuals and <br />organizations spent more than two years developing this program. We cannot <br />agree that the work of all of these individuals were so consistently wrong. <br />Orono had little participation in the development of the management plan <br />and therefore lacks the benefit of the hundreds of hours of discussion that took <br />place. We respectfully disagree with the City. <br />RECEIVED <br />SEP 27 1990 <br />LMLCA.
