LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br />TO: City Administrators/Managers OCT 51Cp� <br />FROM: Gene Strommen <br />DATE: October 4, 1988 <br />SUBJ: Eurasian Water Milfoil Lake Access Signs <br />The "new" weed with which our Lake is becoming identified has <br />captured LIMCD's attention, along with several other organizations. <br />As a result of the Freshwater Foundation's August 13 seminar on <br />Aquatic Weeds and Eurasian Water Milfoil, LMCD has activated a <br />task force to attack the problem. We are pleased to recognize <br />the concern and cooperation of the DNR, Army Corps of Engineers, <br />Hennepin Parks, MCWD, and Lake Restoration - a private treating <br />company - in addition to the Freshwater Foundation for their <br />willing participation. Tom Reese, Aouna, is chairing this effort <br />for the L114CD. <br />The LMCD has already approved $10,000 to initiate an information/ - <br />education campaign to seek public response to checking the spread, <br />and hopefully, to combat the weed's growth. <br />The first step is now ready, uamely, the installation of a public <br />alert sign which reads per the enclosed copy. It is 18" x 24", <br />orange background, green lettering. <br />We need your assistance• by installing signs at public accesses <br />within your city. Since we are receiving help from Hennepin <br />County Public Works and Hennepin Parks on the major accesses, <br />please confirm by phone the access(es) you can post. <br />We will make signs available to you immediately. Hopefully they <br />can be incorporated on existing posts at each access. <br />Thanks for your return call <br />to help. <br />11L%-u/ <br />ERS:jlm <br />enc: copy of sign, Freshwater <br />i <br />v� <br />'- _ • L /r r <br />r � 1 ' <br />this week co verify your willingness <br />Foundatiun's sheet <br />
