MINUTES OF THE LAKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
August 16, 1995
I. CALL TO ORDER: The Lake Advisory Committee meeting was called to order on
Wednesday, August 16, 1995 at 6:38 p.m. Members present were: Chair Jody Stroh,
Marianne Breitbach, Doug Larson, Bill Packer and Tom Watkins. Others present from
the Scott County Sheriffs Department: Bill Nevin, Pat Morgan and Jeff Swedin; and
Water Resources Coordinator Lani Leichty. Members absent were: Tom Kearney and
Rick Warner.
II. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING: The first
item on the Agenda was to approve the Minutes of the meeting of July 19, 1995.
MOTION BY WATKINS, SECONDED BY LARSON TO APPROVE THE JULY 19,
1995 MINUTES. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
III. SURFACE WATER USE DISCUSSION: Members discussed with the Scott County
Sheriffs Department enforcement of the surface water ordinance so far this year. Bill
Nevin reported that he requests time logs and patrol activity for Prior Lake each Monday
from his officers. The number of citations for July was double the amount given in June.
Pat Morgan mentioned that boaters on the lake don't take the law as serious while
recreating as they do while driving on the road. Boaters also tend to give officers more
flack when stopped for a violation while in the water than if they stopped in a car. The
Sheriff s Department is purchasing a decibel meter in order to catch flagrant noise
violators. There was discussion among the LAC and Sheriffs Department about making
the public aware of current rules and regulations regarding lake use. The LAC would
like to use the Wave Length and the Prior Lake American in getting out information
which would help the Sheriffs Department in their patrol and regulation of the lake.
Breitbach showed the group a copy of personal watercraft laws which she received from
the DNR while boating in a northern lake in Minnesota. It is a waterproof sticker
summarizing personal watercraft laws. The officers said that they do have that same
sticker available to hand out, which they use, along with several other pieces of
information. At the closing of the meeting it was agreed upon that the two groups would
meet together again before the winter season to discuss ways both parties could help
each other.
IV. 1995 EURASIAN MILFOIL MANAGEMENT PLAN: Stroh mentioned that the
follow-up diving inspection that Rick Warner arranged showed that this years treatment
