Mayor Van Nest: I do not recognize the hardship allowing the dredge to navigate the channel to dredge the lagoon. This proposal is detrimental to our state water plan and our goal to preserve our natural wetlands. Councilmember Psassengale: This proposal might be ecologically unsound. I do not think that we know what the controllable factors are and how to prevent pollution of the lake. The chemistry is bound to change which will adversely effect Lafayette Bay. We need ecological data. riayor Van P1est: Lde are removing natural ability of this wetlands to remove nutrients. P�r.
