Item - LMCD Report - CC Agenda - 05/09/2011 <br />4) A $32,800 grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has been <br />budgeted for Other Public Agencies (line-item 2b under "REVENUES"). This grant is <br />used to partially fund the LMCD's EWM Harvesting Program. <br />5) $93,633 has been budgeted for the 2012 EWM Harvesting Program (line-items 1 a <br />through 1 e under "DISBRUSEMENTS"). This similar to the budget for the 2011 EWM <br />Harvesting Program. <br />6) $30,000 has been budgeted for AIS Prevention and Management Programs (line-item 5 <br />under "DISBURSEMENTS"). This will be used primarily on watercraft inspections of <br />incoming and outgoing watercraft to prevent the spread of zebra mussels from Lake <br />Minnetonka, as well as the introduction of new aquatic invasive species into Lake <br />Minnetonka. In 2011, over 6,000 hours of paid watercraft inspection hours are planned <br />by the LMCD and the MN DNR, with additional watercraft inspection hours to be <br />provided by the Three Rivers Park District as an in-kind service at the Lake Minnetonka <br />Regional Park. The LMCD plans to expand watercraft inspection hours in 2012 by <br />researching alternative funding sources and investigating other means of staffing <br />watercraft inspectors. <br />Enclosed is a copy of the LMCD's 2010 Annual Report. During the month of May, I would <br />like to offer attending a city council meeting to discuss activities and projects outlined in this <br />Report, as well as to answer any questions that the city council might have on the draft <br />2012 LMCD Budget. If you are unable to attend the June 2 nd meeting and would like to <br />comment on it, feel free to call me or forward your comments to the LMCD office by <br />Wednesday, June 1st . My e-mail address is gnybeck@lmcd.org.
