• <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 25, 1999 <br />(Park Commission Comments, Continued) <br />efforts at helping to clean up this area, and invited the members of the community to take pride <br />in their community. <br />LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT - Lili McMillan, Representative <br />L:ili McMillan addressed the City Council regarding the efforts of the Lake Minnetonka <br />Conservation District and the formation of a Task Force to review the activities that have occurred <br />on Big Island this past year and possible implementation of regulations to maintain better control <br />of this area. McMillan stated that unfortunately the sheriffs department is not in a position to <br />give this area high priority and that Orono will need to rely more on their local police department <br />to help police this area. <br />McMillan stated that there is a case under appeal right now which the LMCD is contesting <br />dealing with an arrest by a volunteer special deputy. <br />Mayor Jabbour commented that the use of the special deputies is a very effective way to police <br />this area. <br />• McMillan stated another issue that has arisen is residents desiring to access the lake through the <br />wetlands, which will need to be reviewed closer in the future. McMillan stated that the DNR would <br />prefer that a longer dock would be installed versus dredging of the wetland. <br />• <br />Mayor Jabbour stated a work session has been held recently to discuss stormwater management <br />where some of these issues were raised. <br />McMillan commented that there is grant money available to Cities who desire to restore the <br />lakeshore, which could perhaps be obtained. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS - Sandy Smith, Representative <br />Sandy Smith stated she had no comments at this time but would be available throughout the <br />evening for any questions by the members of the City Council. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />David Lovelace, 15331 Excelsior Boulevard, Minnetonka, suggested that the boundary between <br />the boats be changed to reduce the number of boats along Big Island. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated that item will be discussed at a meeting on Thursday morning. <br />Page 3 <br />
