! <br /> * ORONO COUNCIL P�IEETING HELD OCTOBER 12, 1976 Page 12 <br /> � The SIS budget indicated above provides for a LPdCD SAFETY & INSPECTION <br /> �complete supplementary program by contract with S�RVIC�S <br /> he Sheriff's office for those services needed (Continued) <br /> � in addition to, but not currently included in, <br /> the 5heriff° s regular budget as approved by the <br /> �� County Boardo The SIS budget, of course, may <br /> • vary somewhat either up or down, should othex' <br /> levels or methods for providing the services <br /> � be chosen, For example, it is estimated that <br /> each aclditional full-time patrol boat involves <br /> � additional costs of $20,000 to $300000 per boate <br /> This can only be accomplished if funds are on <br /> � hand from the DNR, County, or from service fees. <br /> � Councilmember Gary 6Jelsh submitted a ti�ater Patrol WATER PATROL POLICY <br /> Policy as it relates to Orono stating that since <br /> � Orono has 400 of the shoreline of Lake r�innetonka., <br /> � we may have to cansider taking action as it relates <br /> to the curbed 6aater Patrol activities furnished <br /> � by the County, I think we should take exception <br /> to what is being proposed by the LT�ICD, To this <br /> * individual Councilmember, they appear as really <br /> welcoming the vacuum as being created by the County, <br /> � I can see now why we have so many levels of <br /> � government and how they have expanded by wrapping <br /> the cloak of public interest around them. Psy <br /> � idea of the public interest is not creating more <br /> '.uplication whether it be local or national. <br /> i <br /> Therefore, we must deal with the issue as it <br /> really is. Earnestly, explore the two following <br /> ` nossibilities even if they look a hit extremeo <br /> � lo Explore the possibility of taking the County <br /> to Court, and use the public interest argument <br /> � that they are not fulfilling patrol activities <br /> to take care of �roblems created by them. <br /> ! For instance, they have developed public <br /> launches that encourage people to use Lake <br /> � PTinnetonka that are far from the immediate <br /> � communities. This is a County responsibility <br /> to say the least. <br /> � 2. Try and find a c�ay to close their ramps down <br /> until they increase the service. <br /> • <br /> A recent opinion by a judge that went against a <br /> � State agency went like thise Even though the <br /> , State had budgeted a certain level of service, <br /> he said the public interest required more service <br /> � than what the State was providing. Therefore, <br /> he orclered them to increase it. This hapnened <br /> * within the last twelve months. <br /> � (Continued) <br /> • <br /> • <br /> � <br />
