McMillan remarked no information has been supplied <br />regarding the new signage. <br />Kelley questioned why the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District needs a million dollar <br />reserve. <br />Mayor Jabbour commented the City of Orono has requested a public hearing for the past five <br />years to discuss this issue, but the statute does not mandate that the Lake Minnetonka <br />Conservation District hold public hearings. Mayor Jabbour remarked that in his opinion the <br />monies held in reserve should be utilized with zero levy to the City. It was noted that the City of <br />Orono comprises 40% of the lakeshore but has a minor say in how the money should be allocated. <br />McMillan stated she will recommend to the District that the $20,000 for new signage come out of <br />the reserves. <br />5 <br />
