REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 23, 2010 <br /> <br />Franchot moved, Murphy seconded, to approve the minutes of the Orono City Council meeting of <br />August 23, 2010, as submitted. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />LMCD REPORT <br /> <br />McDermott reported that the water level of Lake Minnetonka is up by approximately 18 inches as <br />compared to last year and the dam is still open. <br /> <br />The LMCD has held a couple of public forums recently regarding the zebra mussel problem. McDermott <br />noted that there were very few residents in attendance. The DNR advised the residents to inspect their <br />boats and remove any zebra mussels. The DNR has also found infestations in the upper lake recently. A <br />resident reported finding a large collection of zebra mussels on a boat lift around Brackett’s Point, which <br />would indicate that they have been here for a number of years. McDermott stated the boat inspection <br />program will continue next year. <br /> <br />Murphy commented that getting the residents to wash down their boats is an important part of the plan to <br />control the zebra mussels. <br /> <br />McDermott stated the DNR’s main concern now is preventing the zebra mussels from being spread to <br />other lakes around the state. <br /> <br />McMillan asked whether a wash station would be helpful. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 09/27/2010 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 09/13/2010 [Page 1 of 14]
