V 3. Conducted a scoping study to prepare for its management plan task and made clear an intent to proceed with the planning task as soon as funds are available. CON - LMCD has not: 1. Convened a meeting leading towards the "memorandum of understanding", although it has met individually with several agencies for part of the considerations in the scope of that document. 2. Begun other specific work tasks which the report identified. Admittedly, staff limitations are a major contributing factor in this point. Staff concludes that LMCD has put several important things into motion which should be allowed to work themselves out before the judgment can really be made. Specifically, the following should occur: 1. The legislation to be introduced by LMCD must be clarified to identify the powers sought and LMCD should begin the process of informing all concerned agencies and governmental bodie! to obtain their support for the desired changes. The list should begin with lake municipalities, Hennepin and Carver Counties, lake concerned agencies --local, regional and state, Metro- politan Council and the Hennepin County legislative delegation. The process should continue beyond this list. 2. LMCD should get underway immediately with meetings leading to a memo of understanding, rather than postponing it to part of a future lake use planning process. The cost and complexity of this process is not beyond the current capability of LMCD. 3 .W11 should begin work on those specific work tasks from the report which it can carry out without new resources. For example, a survey of Lakeshore zoning to identify those areas where public access facilities are not prohibited must be done with cooperation of the municipalities in any event. II. Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District SHRPD is proceeding with a regional park master plan. III. Hennepin County Hennepin County has provided expanded support for the Sheriff's Water Patrol but budgeted a decreased public works lake maintenance item, which will most probably result in less maintenance on Lake Minnetonka in 1987. IV. Department of Natural Resources DNR has met with agencies with whom it works on the lake and has stated its intent for a legislative program providing some support to actions on the lake.
