There was much discussion about the amount of chemical treatment allowed by DNR and that desired for the lake by the members. The committee decided that additional research needs to be done concerning milfoil management; what works and what other types of treatment can be performed. Breitbach agreed to invite Steve McComas, of Blue Water Science, to the next LAC meeting to discuss eurasian milfoil management issues. Leichty will contact other cities in the metro area to see what management strategies they are using. The committee then discussed the future funding of milfoil treatment and where the funding would come from. It was agreed upon that funds needed to be put away now before the watershed's budget was depleted. Viewing the lake of Prior Lake as a park, which benefits the community as a whole, it was concluded that all citizens of Prior Lake should contribute to this problem. Since only those residents which are connected to City utilities contribute to the storm water utility fund, it was determined that the funding should come through general property taxes. MOTION BY PACKER, SECONDED BY LARSON TO SET ASIDE FUNDS ON A YEARLY BASIS TO TREAT EURASIAN MILFOIL. THESE FUNDS WOULD BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE WATERSHED AND THE DNR. THESE FUNDS SHOULD BE GENERATED FROM GENERAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUES, SO THAT ALL PRIOR LAKE RESIDENTS CONTRIBUTE TO THIS EFFORT. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. V.
