MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 23, 1986 <br />LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT REPORT <br />LMCD Representative JoEllen Hurr was present. She <br />reported that the LMCD plans to use their power to <br />regulate the chemical & mechanical means of removing <br />weeds and algae from the lake. <br />She stated that the LMCD is concerned about more funding <br />for the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and they <br />are not prepared to ask the member cities for more <br />money nor propose a larger taxing district. They are <br />considering proposing a Lake Minnetonka sticker which <br />requires all boats on Lake Minnetonka to purchase a <br />sticker costing approximately $25.00. She stated that <br />the LMCD would like more control over public accesses. <br />She stated that she will report on their legislation at <br />a later date. <br />Councilmember Grabek questioned the the type of response <br />the LMCD anticipates by requiring a Lake Minnetonka <br />sticker and how they intend to control and require <br />people that do not live on the lake to have stickers for <br />their boats. <br />Hurr stated that she has not had any negative response <br />from lakeshore resident, and they feP1 this would also <br />regulate the use of the lake. <br />Councilmember Crabek voiced his objection to lakeshore <br />residents having to pay a fee for their boats in <br />addition to their high taxes in order to support the <br />LMCD and enforcement on the lake for additional traffic <br />from people outside. He felt lakeshore owners should <br />get a free sticker. He stated that a multitude of <br />problems come up with the sticker idea. <br />Hurr st,+ted that the legislature would not accept that, <br />everyone or no one would have to purchase stickers. <br />Hurr stated that Hennepin Park District is interested in <br />establishing a public park on the lake. <br />Hurr also noted that the BWI law is effectively working. <br />Metropolitan Waste Control Commission - As MWCC <br />representative, JoEllen Hurr reported that with the <br />recent 3" rainfall measures were being taken to assure <br />that no water was pumped into th- lake from Baldur Park <br />Road. <br />3 <br />
