DAVID J. UNMACHT, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER LAKE REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS
June 17, 1991
The purpose of this item is to consider the Lake
Review Committee (LRC) Report recommendations as
contained in the Prior Lake City Council's Work
Program. The Work Program was developed at the
Prior Lake City council Workshop on April 20,
1991. The Work Program has been prepared by
staff and reviewed br Tom Watkins and Doug
Larson, Chairman and V1ce Chairman of the Lake
Review Committee respectively.
The LRC com~leted their report in 1990. The
report and 1ts recommendations was the subject
of a January, 1991 Citr Council retreat with the
LRC. The Citr Counc11 by general consensus
decided to reV1ew each recommendation in detail
at their annual retreat. The annual retreat was
held on April 20, 1991 and the City Council
reviewed, at length, each of the recommendations
contained within the report. The results can be
found in a review of the proposed Work Program
included as part of the agenda packet. In
addition, please note that some of the
recommendations were deleted from the Work
Program and an accompanying addendum is
provided. The LRC was forwarded a copy of this
information and was invited to attend the
meeting to share input with the Council.
The Work Program is proposed in draft form for
your consideration. The format of the Work
Program is a listing of the recommendation,
responsible authority, goal status (short or
long term) and abbreviated action plan. All of
the recommendations are highlighted in the Work
Program or addendum.
The essence of the City Council's
implementation of the LRC Report recommendations

ALTERNATIVES:
is contained within the establishment of a Lake
Advisory Committee (LAC). A Lake Advisory
Committee is conceived to consist of seven
individuals made up of recommendations by each
Councilmember and two from City staff.
(Ori9inally, staff intended to have the LAC
deta1ls developed, however, due to the
importance of approving the Work Program and
settin9 forth further Committee details, staff
will d1SCUSS this at a later time). As of this
writin~, the City Council has not completed
their 1ndividual recommendations. A myriad of
details related to the LAC's make-up, structure
and work must be considered and acted upon by
the Council. This will be forthcoming as the
Council proceeds through the recommendations and
takes action on the Work Program.
The consensus of the Council was to proceed
with the Work Program and Lake Advisory
Committee at the workshop. The essence of this
discussion is to formalize that consensus and
proceed with further action.
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Adopt a Work Program as recommended and
direct implementation of the
recommendations.
2.
Direct staff to begin
structure for the
Committee.
3. Take no action on either the Work Program
or the Lake Advisory Committee.
developin9 a
Lake Adv1sory
4. Table action on the Work Program and/or
the Lake Advisory Committee.
RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends that the Council review
the work Program and addendum and, also,
recommends that the action plan be fine-tuned as
identified in the Work Program. Please be
specific as to the changes you would like to see
implemented by individuals or entities. Action
of the Council will be used as a basis for
implementing the actions of the LAC. Staff also
recommends that Council grant authority to
proceed with developing the framework for the
Lake Advisory Committee. Staff is seeking
direction from the Council on that framework
including related Committee details.
ACTION REQUIRED: May vary based on Council discussion at the
meeting.

RE: Lake Review Committee Report
Results of City Council Workshop
Attached is a DRAFT copy of the Lake Review Committee (LRC)
Report Work Pro~ram prepared as a result of the City Council's
workshop on Aprll 20, 1991. In addition, a copy of
recommendations which are not contained within the Work Program
but were contained with the LRC Report are included in an
addendum with an explanation why they are not part of the Work
Program. THIS DRAFT WILL FORM THE BASIS FOR CITY COUNCIL
DISCUSSION ON MONDAY, JUNE 17. Please plan on attending the June
17 Meeting if you are interested in following the Council's
action.
Councilmembers spent extensive time in reviewing the
recommendations contained within the report and are prepared to
consider formal action. One of the principle recommendations of
the LRC is to establish a Lake Advisory Committee to further
analrze and begin implementation of the recommendations contained
withln your report. This Lake Advisory Committee recommendation
will be considered and discussed by the Council on June 17.
In addition, I have some excellent news to report to you
regardin~ our LRC Report. Br now you might have read the short
article ln the Prior Lake Amerlcan on June 3 regarding the EPA
Conference. The United States Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 7 in Kansas City, has included a presentation from the
City of Prior Lake at their Regional Lake Management Conference
in Des Moines, Iowa on June 11. Deb Garross and Tom Watkins,
representing the City of Prior Lake, will make the presentation
to the participants of this Lake Management Conference. City
staff submitted an abstract and a copy of our report to the EPA
and they thought our document was worthy of presentation to many
lake management, environmental and DNR officials in the upper
midwest. We were very excited about this recognition. In
addition, City staff has submitted an abstract and a copy of the
report to the National Association of Lake Management Society.
We have requested that they consider our report for presentation
at their national conference this fall.
If you have any questions with regard to this information,
please contact either me or Deb Garross.

ADDENDUM
The following recommendations contained within the Lake Review
Committee Report are not found within the City of Prior Lake

action should remain with a different jurisdiction.
Please note either #1, #2, or #3 under the title code which

questions related to the proposed work Program, and the
recommendations contained in the Addendum, please contact either
