MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />May 29, 2001 <br />• <br />(LMCD, Continued) <br />Sansevere inquired whether the City has exhausted any land options available. <br />Gappa indicated there is no land available for snowmobiles, with this area being filled with a <br />number of residences. <br />Moorse indicated he would be willing to schedule a meeting with representatives from the <br />LMCD, the City, the snowmobile club, the Hennepin County Water Patrol, the City of Spring <br />Park, and the person who has a potential design for a bridge to discuss this situation. <br />Sansevere suggested that perhaps one of the editors of the snowmobile magazines be contacted to <br />see if there is technology available elsewhere in the country. <br />Sansevere commented the snowmobilers also have to have some common sense and personal <br />responsibility. Sansevere stated the fire lanes are not an option due to the closeness to the <br />residences. <br />McMillan stated the best option would be to rebuild the bridge, which is not a possibility at this <br />time. McMillan stated the LMCD is still willing to discuss this item if there is new technology <br />available, but at this time they are internally unable to generate a solution. <br />Sansevere noted the former mayor from time to time would head up certain causes, and suggested • <br />that perhaps Nygard would be willing to spearhead this. <br />Nygard stated he would be willing to help find a solution to this problem and will discuss it <br />further with the City Administrator. <br />Flint suggested the DNR also be contacted. <br />(2) Update on Additional Water Patrol <br />McMillan reported the costs for the water patrol would be 40 percent less than anticipated due to <br />the hiring of the full -time officer for only five months and a part-time officer the rest of the time. <br />(3) Audit Results for 2000 <br />McMillan stated the audit results for 2000 have been provided to the Council. McMillan <br />indicated the LMCD is currently working on the upcoming budget. McMillan stated in her view <br />the LMCD should look at outside funding as well since Lake Minnetonka is used by residents <br />state -wide. <br />Mayor Peterson suggested a work session be scheduled with the Council to discuss that item <br />Sansevere suggested the LMCD consider a user fee or a voluntary donation. <br />0 <br />4 <br />PAGE 4 <br />
