Three <br /> River Parks and The Minnehaha Watershed District have agreed to do that and a bid has been received <br /> and awarded last week to re-vegetate a portion of the shoreline. <br /> Jabbour indicated he typically receives a number of requests from people wanting to hold weddings and <br /> other events on Big Island. Big Island is currently under a management plan that was adopted by the City <br /> Council, which does not allow those types of events on the Island. In addition,the Watershed District has <br /> a conservation easement. Jabbour noted the Watershed District would have to adopt an amendment to the <br /> management plan if the City is interested in holding those types of events on Big Island. <br /> McMillan noted weddings can be held on Big Island but that there are no public restroom facilities or <br /> running water available. <br /> Jabbour stated he stands corrected on weddings but that most other private events cannot be held on Big <br /> Island. <br /> McMillan asked if there is anything the Council should be thinking about for improvements that should <br /> be done this spring. <br /> Page 1 of 11 <br />
