Pillsbury � . . <br /> • April 25, 1977 _ : . • <br /> � Page 2 " <br /> � <br /> � Assuming that t�►is amendment is enacted and assuming that the <br /> County Board of Commissioners would allow the $50,000 budget <br /> • for 1977 to include Lake Minnetonka, the level of services that <br /> • could be provided on Lake Minnetonka would consist of the following: <br /> � 1. Approximately two boats to be manned by volunteers, only, <br /> to be operated during the daylight hours of Saturdays• _and <br /> � Sundays to perform the patrol function. <br /> • 2. The only other service that could be provided within the <br /> • budget would be response for a life and death emergency <br /> on Lake Minnetonka. The response time for these emergencies <br /> � would consist of a regular sheriff deputy coming by car <br /> to the water patrol offices in Spring Park, manning one of <br /> � the boats and responding to the accident site. Again, <br /> this would only be response to a life and death situation <br /> � and no patrol function during any on the weekday hours. <br /> � I agree with your comment. that a cor_lplete overhaul of the legislation <br /> � for the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District is needed, at this <br /> time,and I hope that we can all work together to see that this is <br /> � accomplished during the next year. The responsibility and funding <br /> capability for all of the needed functions at Lake Minnetonka <br /> � must be given clearly to one agency to administer, including lake - <br /> improvement projects and water surface regulation and enforcement. <br /> � <br /> � Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. <br /> � Y s truly, <br /> � <br /> � Brad Van Nest ' <br /> • Orono Mayor <br /> � cc: Representative Robert L. Searles <br /> • - <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> / <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br />
