The meeting was brought to order by roll call of each individual
committee.
Park Director, Steve Michaud, and Public Works Director, Jim Robinette,
gave an explanation of the purpose of a combined committee meeting. That
purpose was a Council directive to make recommendations with respect to a
comprehensive overview of Lake Marion and Orchard Lake, their use problems,
.management, enforcement of rules and potential solutions to the above
categories.
A clarification of enforcement responsibilities was offered. Basic-
ally, the Dakota County Sheriff's Department was responsible for summer
time usage and Lakeville would be responsible for the winter season.
A variety of topics were discussed. The main focus was then shifted
to a discussion of how best to approach the problems at hand. It was sug-
gested that a task force or sub-committee be made up of members representing
both committees. This task force would meet to discuss a format in which
lake use data could be collected and then used to determine the type of
recommendation necessary to prepare a good lake management plan. It was
suggested that a survey be conducted on both lakes and other pertinent in-
formation be gathered through the boating season of 1982 and then a recom-
mendation or plan be implemented for the 1983 boating season.
Members Jeff Cramer of the Park and Recreation Committee and David
Forst of the Natural Resources Committee will represent their respective
committees. Asub-committee meeting will be set up to begin the groundwork
and prepare a plan of action.
The combined committee was then adjourned to begin th own meetings.
