"The next item was to discuss t'Hiitesults of the Public Hearing which was held on January
18, 1994. Members expressed their thoughts and opinions of the comments heard. and of
the proposal suggested by the Council.
Members discussed the process of getting approval from the DNR for the proposed
ordinance. Concerns for items which were different than those included in the DNR's
guidelines were discussed, especially the provision of "one hour after sunset" versus
"sunset".
There was a discussion concerning what type of signing would be required after an
ordinance is approved by the DNR and adopted by the City. There was a suggestion that
local DNR enforcement officer be notified prior to installing the signs, to minimize potential
problems.
Members agreed good education will be neccessary to make the ordinance effective. It was
suggested that flyers be produced and available for lake users to inform them of these new
restrictions on the lake.
Councilmember Kedrowski suggested monitoring winter and summer lake activities, and
especially enforcement, to provide a more effective means of determining problems which
currently exist. He suggested any data from the Sheriff should be forwarded to the LAC, to
help members evaluate lake activities and problems.
Councilmember Kedrowski and LAC members discussed a prop~sal to have the City enforce
the lake. There was also a discussion of the various problems on the lake, including those
which are occurring at the access on Lord's Street.
Councilmember Kedrowski expressed his thoughts on the recent ordinance and some of the
problems he feels will be associated with enforcing it.
The meeting of the LAC was adjourned at 8:30 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Joel A. Rutherford
Recording Secretary
