Mayor could declare the restriction and a resolution would need to be passed <br />at an emergency City Council meeting at the earliest possible time. <br />3. The Public Works staff would be directed to place two signs by the boat <br />launch indicating the emergency temporary "no wake " zone. <br />4. City staff would notify the residents that an emergency "no wake zone " has <br />been enacted. The City has a Lake Johanna Association contact that could <br />assist with sending out an email to residents. If the restriction occurs on a <br />weekend, an email from the Mayor to the Lake Association would be <br />appropriate. Staff would send a notification to all residents, depending on <br />the length of the restriction. <br />5. City staff would contact the appropriate authorities at the Ramsey County <br />Sheriff's office. The City has a contact for the boat patrol for Ramsey <br />County and staff will notify them on the restriction. If it occurs on a <br />weekend, the general Ramsey County Sherif� s general number will have to <br />be called. <br />6. The City will send the DNR notification that the emergency temporary "no <br />wake" zone has been declared and the official resolution will be sent in. <br />7. During a restriction, the Public Works staff would do regular checks on the <br />water level gauge until the water level goes below the designated low mark <br />for 24 hours. Once the level goes below 879.30 for 24 hours, the signs <br />would be removed. Staff does not recommend the water level gauge on <br />Lake Johanna be monitored regularly by the Public Works staff outside of <br />an emergency "no wake zone" restriction. The recommendation is to rely <br />on residents and also weather forecasting. If there is concern about the <br />water possibly reaching the emergency level, Public Works staff would then <br />schedule gauge checks. <br />If high water occurrences become more regular, the City could revisit this issue at a later <br />date and consider amending the current surface water regulations. <br />Requested Council Motion <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2012-018: Establishing Emergency High Water <br />Declaration Procedures on Lake Johanna in Arden Hills. <br />IlMetro-inet.uslardenhillslPR&PWIParkslMemoslCouncil Memos1060412 Surface Use Regulations.doc <br />
