Others present: Lani Leichty, Water Resources Coordinator; Dale Braddy of the Prior Lake Association; Dave Wuellner, Council Member and a local resident. Members absent: Tom Kearney and Paul Trapp. II. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF JANUARY 20, 1999, MEETING MINUTES Wuellner requested a revision to the minutes on the fifth paragraph of page two. The sentence does not end properly. MOTION BY SODERSTROM, SECONDED BY BREITBACH TO APPROVE THE MEETING MINUTES OF JANUARY 20, 1999, WITH THE SENTENCE CORRECTION. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSL Y. The fifth paragraph on page two of the minutes should have read as follows: Kearney: Would it be appropriate to put in our recommendations that we want to see greater enforcement of existing regulations? III. COMPREHENSIVE LAKE MANAGEMENT PLAN (CLMP) Warner briefed the committee on the outcome of the February 16, 1999, City Council meeting. He mentioned that Council approved the schedule, timeline and process as recommended by the LAC for the CLMP. The recommendation to apply for a DNR grant hiring a consultant to conduct a Shoreland Management Action Plan was not approved. The motion by Council was to conduct the shoreland plan in-house with the help of a summer intern and apply for the DNR grant, using this money to hire a consultant to analyze the shoreland data and provide recommendations on what action to take. Wuellner clarified Council's motion on this issue. He mentioned that it was important to gather data and information in 1999 and not wait to see if grant money 16200 Eagle Creek Ave" S,E" Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372.1714 / Ph, (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Leichty passed out a sheet with preliminary goals for each issue that he drafted up along with several objectives for shoreland preservation. He asked the group if they had any questions or comments. The committee reviewed and discussed the Management Plan for Lake Minnetonka and how to define the goals for the Prior Lake plan. Warner: I think we should come to some agreement on the goals tonight, or redefine the goals. Let's start with the first goal, the Plan. Are there any comments? Breitbach: I would like to cross out the "twelve page (maximum)", and make it say "reasonable length plan". Warner: The next thing we need to do is to come up with goals for shoreland preservation. Larson: What is the plan going to incorporate? Maybe we should say that the "plan" goal incorporates the goals, objectives and action steps of each issue. Breitbach: Do we want to identify who will be doing the plan? Leichty: We would include a list of all who worked on the plan, LAC members, ex officio members, and others. Warner: We need to include a forward or executive summary in the beginning of the plan. Larson: I suggest we co-op with other organizations and get them to participate in our plan formulation, this may help us in getting grant money. I think the broader participation and assistance we can get for integrating all of the diversity in the formulation of our plan gives us a better shot at grant money. It pays to get people on board early. Warner: Maybe what we need to do in our approach in getting things done is to formulate goals next month when all of the Ex Officio members are in attendance and can provide input. We should define a list of Ex Officio's to invite to participate in each issue. Larson: We know the groups that we are going to invite, we should say, "These are the issues which we are concerned about, do you want to participate?" We will say in the plan who the stakeholders are that were invited to participate in plan formulation. Leichty: The following groups will be invited to participate in the plan: Watershed District, Prior Lake Association, County Sheriff, County Water Planner, Sportsman's Club, DNR, Yacht Club and a copy to the County Administrator. Braddy: I have a copy of a DNR magazine article that talks about restoring a lake chain in west-central Minnesota. Many of the issues they dealt with are the same ones disturbing Prior Lake. The DNR recently conducted a fish survey on Prior Lake. The committee should get a copy to review. --..--------------...-..--.....-.,---------.---...---..----.-.--...-------- Braddy: I have a copy of a DNR magazine article that talks about restoring a lake chain in west-central Minnesota. Many of the issues they dealt with are the same ones disturbing Prior Lake. The DNR recently conducted a fish survey on Prior Lake. The committee should get a copy to review. Larson: Are there any other components of the system that we need to be aware of before we invite people in? Breitbach: I think that we should have someone come in to help us get off the ground, maybe we wouldn't need a consultant all of the time or for everything, but they could help us by offering their expertise in a large group setting as we needed them. We recently did this same thing at work not long ago. A facilitator led the group and had everybody write down two or three items of what is important to them on paper. The ideas were then placed on a board so that everyone could see what was a high priority. Then, through the process of elimination, goals were narrowed down and defined. Leichty: At the March LAC meeting all of the Ex Officio members will be invited to attend. The main purpose of the meeting will be to set goals for each of the six priority issues. The committee summarized the next step to take in the process. Leichty will draft up a letter inviting Ex Officio members from the various organizations identified earlier. It was agreed upon that a lake expert should be brought in to the next meeting, when the goals are being derived, to give a brief description of each lake issue. MOTION BY HAGGERTY, SECONDED BY LARSON TO ELECT WARNER TO BE A FA CILITA TOR AT THE MARCH LAC MEETING WHEN GOALS WILL BE DEFINED FOR EACH CLMP ISSUE. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSL Y. MOTION BY LARSON, SECONDED BY WARNER TO HA VE LEICHTY INVITE STEVE MCCOMAS OF BLUE WA TER SCIENCE TO THE NEXT MEETING. HIS ROLE WILL BE TO GIVE A SHORT OVERVIEW OF EACH CLMP ISSUE AS GOALS ARE BEING DEFINED. MOTION PASSED UNA NlMO USL Y. IV. NEW BUSINESS Leichty asked that the March meeting be moved to the fourth Wednesday of the month due to his absence. MOTION BY WARNER, SECONDED BY HAGGERTY TO MOVE THE MARCH LAC MEETING TO THE FOURTH WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1999. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSL Y. Breitbach shared with the committee what she learned at a seminar of how the City of Maplewood handled stormwater on a recent street improvement project. The neighbors didn't want the typical 32 foot wide street with curb and gutter, so through a series of meetings, the City came up with a plan using side street ditches as miniature holding ponds instead of piping the water to ponds. She especially liked -_..'<.._-------_._-_...._-_.~.._--- the innovation put into the project versus "doing things the way we've always done it" . VI.
