MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 10, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 30 (LMCD REPORT – ANDREW McDERMOTT, REPRESENTATIVE, Continued) McDermott noted the applicant associated with EOF Investments has been in discussions with the LMCD. McDermott stated the LMCD does not have any outstanding issues with the proposed fuel storage tank but noted the LMCD does have some issues with the dock on Tanager Bay, which will need to be worked out. McMillan stated as it relates to the new aquatic invasive species, she would like to see a little more education being provided as to what new species they should be looking for and how they are transported. McDermott stated there are five likely culprits that could affect Lake Minnetonka, such as the spiny water flea, hydrilla, and Asian carp. McDermott stated the LMCD could spell that out a little clearer. Levang indicated she also would like to see some more information on the potential for new aquatic invasive species that might impact Lake Minnetonka. Levang suggested a white paper or some information on the LMCD’s website be considered. Printup asked if the Asian carp have any natural predators. McDermott indicated he is not aware of any but that they tend to take over every lake they gain access to. Since they are ferocious eaters, that tends to destroy the food chain in the lakes.
