4 o Become a lead agency for planning, coordination and review of projects that will affect the lake (see legislative program numbers 3, 8).

LMCD actions in 1987 which staff found to be applicable to Council recommenda- tions, include: o Issuing a request for proposals to conduct a study and develop a draft comprehensive management plan for Lake Minnetonka (see letter attached, "B"). In late 1986, LMCD contracted for a scoping study. The report from the scoping study is the basis for a comprehensive study proposal which will address 10 issue areas related to lake surface management. The study appears to have the potential to lead to a comprehensive management plan. The project is scheduled over three years. LMCD has budgeted $50,000 for the first year, 1988. It intends to budget up to $50,000 in each of two succeeding years. LMCD is pursuing other public and private sources to meet the balance of the estimated $250,000 limit and has some of the $100,000 pledged or in hand. o Continuing to develop the 13-point legislative program initiated for early 1987. Modifications (from the original) since the last review are few and minor. The proposed program has been reviewed by each LMCD member municipality and the response assembled in a matrix (see program and matrix, "C", attached). o Continuing the permit and project reviews :.f past years plus adding new rules dealing with: - "drystacking" in marinas - defining boat length/slip limits - defining rules for special events, such as fishing contests - defining charter boat licensing, including liquor licensing, pilot requirements and other areas - marina standards and permit requirements o Continuing to collect lake -related permit information from other agencies and, now, serving as a clearinghouse for permit forms and directions to appropriate agencies and offices (see "D", attached). o Consulting with Minnesota DNR, Metropolitan Council and Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District on a variety of lake -related matters.
