Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />( #21) HARBOR LIMITS ORDINANCE - PROGRESS UPDATE <br />Radio said he is making progress towards a harbor limits ordinance affecting 300' into the <br />lake. The State Statutes allow the city the ability to regulate the harbors 300' into the <br />lake. There is a distinction between what can be regulated, namely, docks and activities <br />on the docks. Once in the lake, Radio said the jurisdiction belongs to the LMCD or <br />DNR. Radio said he would be bringing an ordinance back before the Council at the next <br />meeting. He asked the Council if the major concern was regarding docks or harbor <br />activity. <br />Jabbour said the main concern is over docks. He does not want the City to be held to <br />LMCD standards and would like to control the application of chemicals that flow into the <br />lake. He would also like to regulate commercial vessels from distributing items. <br />Radio provided information on two ordinances from other cities. He cited an example of . <br />harbor regulations in relation to public nuisances. Kelley asked if they could be more <br />restrictive than the LMCD. Radio said it would depend on the activity. If the activity is <br />on the water, the LMCD may have jurisdiction. Radio indicated activities on the dock <br />can be controlled. He indicated if there were two concurrent jurisdictions, the court <br />would determine who has jurisdiction. <br />Jabbour said he would like to see the City have representation on the LMCD in order to <br />set an example for the LMCD to follow. It was noted that while the City does not allow <br />docks on outlots, the LMCD does. <br />No action was required. <br />( #22) REQUEST FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />City Attorney Radio requested an Executive Session. <br />22 <br />
