Loftus indicated she will forward the letter to <br />Mr. McDermott. Loftus stated Mr. McDermott will be invited to the meeting once it is scheduled. <br />Basically Mr. Osgood is asking the City Council to direct the LMCD to take a look at a comprehensive <br />herbicide program and the funding of it. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if this is the final year of the pilot study. <br /> <br />McDermott indicated it is. A lake-wide management plan would need to be completed if they treat other <br />bays outside of the five that are currently being treated. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if there is any information on the fundraising efforts. <br /> <br />McDermott indicated he does not have any information regarding the current fundraising efforts. <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS – LIZZ LEVANG, REPRESENTATIVE <br /> <br />Levang stated the Planning Commission discussed the dock resolution at its last meeting and there will be <br />a public hearing held on March 19. The Planning Commission is hoping that a number of residents <br />attend that meeting and provide their input on the matter. Levang commented that it is an important issue <br />for the City and that the Planning Commission will be diligent about collecting information and providing <br />that to the City Council. <br /> <br />Levang noted the Planning Commission has been a little busier with planning applications than in the <br />recent past. <br /> <br />McMillan pointed out that if there is a feeling of needing additional time for public input, the dock <br />application could be carried over to the April meeting. McMillan commented she does not feel the need <br />to rush the application. <br /> <br />Levang stated due to spring break happening in March, she is not sure how many homeowners will be in <br />attendance. The Planning Commission is receptive to carrying the public hearing over to April if a small <br />number of private residents are in attendance at the March meeting. <br /> <br />McMillan encouraged the City Council members to attend that public hearing if possible. <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 03/26/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 03/12/2012 [Page 5 of 7]
