MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, December 14, 2009 <br />• 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />(B UDGET HEARING = 6:30 P.M., Continued) <br />C. ADOPT THE 2010 SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS BUDGETS — RESOLUTION <br />NO. 5891 <br />Franchot moved, McMillan seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5891, a Resolution to Adopt the <br />2010 Special Revenue Funds Budgets. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />LMCD REPORT — ANDREW MCDERMOTT, REPRESENTATIVE <br />McDermott stated the LMCD has discussed the continued chemical treatment of the three bays for 2010. <br />Carman's Bay was not treated in 2009 but will be treated in 2010 if the appropriate funding is raised. A <br />number of other bays have expressed interest in the treatment but the LMCD elected not to expand their <br />funding to include those lakes at the present time. The chemicals used in Gray's Bay amounted to <br />approximately 14,000 tons and helped eradicate the milfoil but negatively impacted the growth of the lily <br />pads on the bay. McDermott stated one issue experienced with the application of the chemicals was the <br />movement of the currents. <br />McDermott stated the Sheriff's Water Patrol reported that there were 104 arrests on Lake Minnetonka <br />compared to 76 from 2008. The citations included 23 arrests for careless boating; 33 minor consumption <br />tickets, which was down from 2007; 132 citations for no life jackets; 43 thefts in 2009, which is up from <br />• 34 the year before. The increase in arrests and citations is attributed to the increase in patrol hours, which <br />went from 3280 hours in 2008 to 4011 hours this year. <br />Bremer asked how thick the ice is on Lake Minnetonka. <br />McDermott stated the ice is not very thick at the present time and that caution should be exercised when <br />walking on the ice. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS — TESS RICE, REPRESENTATIVE <br />Rice stated she had nothing to report but would be available for questions. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />None <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />*4. #05 -3152 JAMES D.
