At present the City of Orono has not budgeted any money in 1989 <br />for this expenditure# but could transfer money from its budget <br />reserve for such an item if the Council so desired. <br />It is expected that the harvesting program would be ongoing for a <br />number of years# although as noted in Attachment A they would <br />expect perhaps a change in funding. A local Legislator is <br />probably going to make a request for State funding as efforts to <br />control”Lake Minnetonka may be beneficial to limiting its spread <br />to other lakes in the state. <br />ALTERNATIVES - <br />1. Agree to the amount requested. <br />2. Selection of a different amount. <br />3. Choose not to fund any amount. <br />4. Table until February 27# 1989. <br />RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the City of Orono <br />contribute up to $15#000 for this project for 1989 as the City <br />has the greatest amount of lakeshore of any of the communities <br />around the lake and it would be a definite benefit to Orono <br />residents for this program. Additionally it is recommended that <br />this money be a transfer from the City's budget reserve. <br />PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by # seconded by # that the Council <br />indicates its willingness to fund up to $15#000.00 for the <br />program for 1989# which is to be funded by a transfer from its <br />budget reserve. Ayes _# Nays _. <br />cc: Jo Ellen Kurr# LMCD Representative <br />Eugene Strommen# LMCD Executive Director
