As per the Committee's request, minutes were also mailed to you previously for review. see the your II. Update On Eurasian Watermilfoil Activities. Much activity has occurred since the May 19 meeting on eurasian milfoil. Most of the news has not been positive. Committee members and staff will update you on milfoil activities since the May 19 meeting. The DNR has conducted aerial photography (infra-red process) over prior lake and other lakes to ascertain the severit~ of the mil foil problem. Information and deta1ls discovered from the pictures taken during the fly-over will be discussed at the meeting. III Discussion with Bill Dilks, Staff Coordinator, Watershed District. Enclosed is a copy of a letter staff mailed to Bill on May 29 inviting him to the meeting. As of this writing his attendance has not been confirmed, but in discussions with Dilks, he was excited about the opportunity to meet with the Lake Advisory Committee. I have forwarded a copy of the LAC re~ort to him and expect to confirm his attendance th1s week. IV. Discussion On storm Water utility Fee Concept. At the last meeting the Committee discussed the concept of a storm water utility fee. Enclosed is a cop~ of information from the City of Eagan. In addit10n, staff will present further details on the concept on the meeting. Discussion of this concept occurred as a result of our consideration of a Water Resource Staff position and Lake Advisory Committee staff position. I will be in contact with John Wingard to discuss the possibility of having the Water Resources Coordinator for the City of Eagan to attend this meeting or a future meeting. V. Other Business VI.

This governmental organization is authorized by the State Legislature. Each of the 14 municipalities has a representative on the 14 person board. Their general areas of responsibility appears to be similar to our own group. They were handed the milfoil problem when it came up a couple of years ago. They have no levy authority of their own. Their budget is funded by contributions from each of the 14 lake municipalities - generally $10,000 to $20,000 per year per city. The present milfoil harvesting system has primarily been funded thru private donations. (Irwin Jacobs, owner of two largest marinas on the lake - donated $500,000 for cutting equipment - 4 cutter rigs.) A fifth cutter rig operates on the lake most of the time - but is owned by Hennepin County Park District. The Park District contributes employee time to the mil foil problem on Minnetonka to the extent of about $40,000 to $50,000 per year value. Their attorney (Jeff Brauchli - Oppenheimer Law Firm) reports that Minnetonka and the Park District have tried a variety of chemical applications on both Minnetonka and smaller lakes (Independence) with mixed results, They haven't yet found anyone treatment that is completely reliable. The Park District water quality specialist - who is now spending practically all his time on milfoil can give us a run down on the effectiveness of various treatment programs - Jeff Barton 476-4666 Brauchli advised that most of DNR funds are being committed to prevent spread of milfoil to resort areas north of the Twin Cities - with the Twin cities lakes themselves being regarded as a lost cause. Brauchli further stated "Don't wait for the DNR to help you financially - if they ever do - it will be too late". m ;r ~ -,.~.- MEMORANDUM (Continued) Tom, at your request I further looked into the possibility of property value reductions on Minnetonka. As I previously told you, my firm has an assignment to find if such a value decline exists. The market data we presently have is inconclusive as to value impact by milfoil. I have checked with property Tax Assessor's on Minnetonka and have found that there are presently no programs of property value reductions, because of milfoil. Rumors that property tax values were being reduced because of milfoil proved to be unfounded.
