The Watershed District is reaching out to the different local mayors. The mayor of <br />Wayzata was also in attendance at the meeting. The Watershed District is interested in getting feedback <br />about how the Watershed District is doing. One recommendation was to find ways to reduce the number <br />of watershed rule changes and plan amendments that have been presented to the cities in the past few <br />years, which costs the City time and money. The Watershed District indicated they understand that <br />concern and will be keeping that in mind going forward. <br /> <br />In addition, as it relates specifically to Orono, the Watershed District has an upcoming study on Long <br />Lake Creek. McMillan noted she has not studied the project scope, but that she did mention to them that <br />the Long Lake Creek, which runs down to Tanager Bay, is almost exclusively located on private property <br />within Orono and that she would like those property owners to be informed of the study and given an <br />opportunity to provide comment on the study. <br /> <br />The third issue discussed was the impact of phosphorus and the newly enacted federal mandates. The <br />Watershed District is attempting to get an educational forum together to help inform the mayors on <br />exactly what the federal mandates mean and the various requirements involved. McMillan commented <br />that it was a good meeting and that the Watershed District is attempting to reach out to the various cities <br />in an attempt to find out what the important issues are with each city and that it is a good effort on their <br />part. <br /> <br />McMillan stated the changes to the website are very positive. The latest city news and events are located <br />on the front page as well as information on the hardcover task force. McMillan indicated she is <br />appreciative of Staff for getting the information on the website. <br /> <br />Printup noted that the City of Long Lake is having their SummerFest the week of June 21st to the 25th. <br /> <br />McMillan commented work on the donation garden will also be getting underway this week. All of the <br />volunteers have done a good job in overcoming last minute hurdles. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 06/27/2011 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 06/13/2011 <br />[Page 7 of 9]
