Administrator's Information <br />September 21, 1988 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />LONG LAKE/LAKE LEVEL - You may have recently noticed in an article that was <br />in the newspapers regarding a recent Long Lake Counci.. meeting regarding <br />the City of Orono's responsibility for installation of a plate which would <br />have an influence on the lake level of Long Lake. This is an issue that <br />staff has beer working on for over a year. Apparently the original plate <br />rusted out several years ago and because of the differences of opinion. <br />Orono asked the DNR to establish the ordinary high water mark for Long <br />Lake. They did this based listorical precedence and they then <br />indicated that Orono should to a the plate that had rusted out. (The <br />location of the outlet is in Orono.) It seems to be a difference of <br />opinion in the City of Long Lake as to whether this should be installed or <br />not as it has an impact on the shoreline of some of the residents that live <br />there. Because of the low level it has not been a significant issue this <br />year, but the City of Orono is attempting to work with the Long Lake <br />Engineer and the DNR to satisfactorily resolve this matter. <br />LIVINGSTON TOWER PARK SCULPTURE - As it was mentioned at the budget meeting <br />on September 20, 1988, the sculpture ha- been installed at Livingston Park. <br />The City has been attempting to :lean or the a?ea and set a date for our <br />"unveiling" of the sculpture. Presently the City is looking at mid October <br />for an unveiling. <br />HIGHWAY 12 - City of Orono staff was invited to a meeting at MNDOT District <br />5 on September 19 to review their initial plans for m:4ing safety <br />improvements along Highway 12. These improvements are scheduled for 1991 <br />and would entail widening of the road to allow for continuous left turn <br />lane in the corridor from east of North Brown Road all the way through Old <br />Crystal Bay Road. The cost of this project is estimated to be $500,000. <br />The City staff had requested copies of this so this could be reviewed and <br />comments made as to the City's thoughts on the matter. <br />
