MINUTES OF THE � • <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri18,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 14. LONG LAKE FUNDING REQUEST <br /> Loftus noted the City received a$500 funding request from Long Lake Mayor Tim Hulmann to assist in <br /> the removal of carp from Long Lake,which has been completed. Long Lake believes the removal of the <br /> carp improves the water quality for the lake and in their estimation they removed approximately 40,000 <br /> pounds of carp. <br /> McMillan commented they believe 200,000 pounds of carp might be in there. <br /> Loftus noted this item was not budgeted and that there was some question about whether this would occur <br /> on a yearly basis. <br /> McMillan stated to her belief they originally felt there would be no cost since the processing company <br /> would make up the costs by selling the carp but the price of carp has fallen. <br /> Loftus stated if this request is approved, she would advise Long Lake that it is a one-time payment unless <br /> Orono is asked to be part of a long-term project. Loftus stated there is some thought that the removal of <br /> the carp improves the water quality. <br /> Struve indicated there is some debate on whether the removal of the carp will improve the water quality <br /> and that the studies are inconclusive at this time. <br /> Levang stated if this is an ongoing issue, she would like to be informed of the project before it is done <br /> rather than finding out about it after the fact. Levang stated if it is shown that the water quality is <br /> improved, she would be willing to partner in the future with Long Lake. <br /> Levang moved,Printup seconded,to approve payment of$500 to the City of Long Lake to pay for <br /> carp harvesting and that the City continue to partner with Long Lake in the carp harvest provided <br /> advance notice is given.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Loftus noted the May 28`"Council meeting is a Tuesday since it falls after a Memorial Day holiday. <br /> *15.
