<br /> Nicole : I think r�hat I 'm trying to make available is mooring facilities ,
<br /> obviously, for people with sailboats . I don ' t thinl: that by telling them
<br /> we don ' t have mooring facilities that we ' re going to stop them from coming,
<br /> and as the gentleman from the `�ater Patrol mentioned, there are numerous
<br /> public launching ramps , whereby the transient boater can certainly put his
<br /> boat in and sail or power, or do whatever he wishes .
<br /> 1�'hitehead; That ' s a valid point , but �a� two wrongs don ' t make a right,
<br /> either.
<br /> r4an in rear: I�d like to make a comment with respect to b2r. �Vhitehead ' s
<br /> statement that nobody has come with any specific proposals tonight, or
<br /> any specifie standards , well , the problem is that most everybody agrees ,
<br /> that the standards haven ' t been set , and the only proposal so far tonight
<br /> has been the one to hold everything in abeyance until we havesome standards
<br /> that �vill govern and guide us in the application of these prinei.pa.ls .
<br /> bir. Gross
<br /> ���I��FX�E�£�: Can I �sk R�r. «hitehead if there are any standards or
<br /> limitations on the public launching. Can you, or do you, limit the
<br /> number of boats?
<br /> �Phitehead : Th� �ould not be within the Council ' s jurisdiction, that ' s . . .
<br /> Gross : Is that a statewide , or a county�vide situtation?
<br /> �'l�itehead: I don ' t think there are any, Bert.
<br /> Niayor: �Ve felt sure by tl�is time of year th�.t the Conserv�ti on Dept .
<br /> would come up with some standards . Actually, we probably �verr expecting
<br /> too much from the Conservation Dept . , that ' s the Lake �iinnetonka Conser—
<br /> vation Dept . , as they ,just was organized, they didn ' t have money to
<br /> operate with, and they didn ' t come up �ith any standards that KTe ' d like
<br /> to see tgem come up wit�. t�nd as the gentlemen say here , they' re
<br /> recommending that we hold off until we get so�e standards . �sr. Kieran?
<br /> Kieran : 3��t ?��iayor, I wonder if I could make a suggestion, you peol�le
<br /> here are concerned about the very thing that the people are against,
<br /> apparently at this moment , ? do a lot to improve. �hy can ' t we all
<br /> get together and work this thing out? �'Pe � re not going to do it by
<br /> ourselves , it ' s going to be a state or a county operation, aaybe the
<br /> federal government . �hy don' t we start now, and try to bring up the
<br /> facts connected with this . `�'e ' re all trying to figure out , that the
<br /> boat i ( ? ) , andin actual truth, this man said before he left,
<br /> that better than 750 of the pollutants of the lake is not coming from
<br /> boaters , it ' s coming from your septic systems . No�v �vhy in the world can ' t
<br /> the people in this Village 'et together and at I.east allow us--we 've
<br /> been suppressed--the people that are �vor:iing with the voting public--
<br /> we gaven' t got the facilities that we want, we 've been held back. PJhy
<br /> don' t we get together as a ferce , to eliminate the pro?�lem, and not dicker
<br /> back and forth. I brought this up once before , and nothing happened.
<br /> Thank you.
<br /> Youngish man in second row: I ' d like to direct a question to the Council
<br /> about , I gather from all this diecussion he�e there aj�e various interest
<br /> groups around the lake , both private and political , trying to do various
<br /> tt�in�s , especially private ones that have contributed money among them—
<br /> selves to do things , I knotiv of several situations �vhere groups of
<br /> residents , without any kind of organization, simply go door to door to
<br /> gather money for to get enough copper sulfate for a temporary measi.ire to
<br /> treat�xssxR a bay, as was done in the �vestern p�irt of the l.alce on +�ccaston,
