Dear Mr. Tunheim, Ms. Benson, Ms. Ricks, Mr. Persian and Mr. Schwingler; <br />I am writing to you in opposition to the Stubbs Bay LID. My name is Barbara Schmidt and I live <br />at 50 Landmark Drive in the Stubbs Bay wetlands with a view of Stubbs Bay. <br />For the last two days I have canvased Stubbs Bay Lakeshore and deeded access homeowners <br />to see what they think. I spoke to dozens of people and not a single person understood they <br />were becoming legally liable for a public body of water for weed treatments. Not a single person <br />understood that they were locking their neighbors into that same legal liability with a mandated <br />tax whether they wanted the weed treatments or not. <br />Residents simply want another option without the tax and liability components. Most neighbors <br />were willing to help pay for an ecologically sound option that is not forcing other neighbors into <br />treatments they don't believe in. Some asked why there aren't options on various treatments? <br />Where is the long term plan? Is there a Lake wide plan? <br />Please understand that Citizens voted for something that was not fully explained. Please take <br />the time to learn what they want and present an alternative solution. Let's find a different vehicle <br />and process to take care of our Lake that has ecological and civil oversight that is open to all <br />those who wish to learn and participate. <br />Thank you - Barbara Schmidt 612-270-3924 <br />295 <br />
