This procedure calls for a No Wake sign be posted <br />when the lake reaches a particular elevation (879.50). It also requires the posting remain in <br />place until the level recedes to 879.30 for a minimum of 24 hours. <br /> <br /> Discussion <br /> <br />On 8/11/16 Public Works Staff observed the gauge on Lake Johanna to be at 2.50 which <br />indicates an elevation of 879.50. Staff has verified with Ramsey County Staff the gauge reading <br />and the calibration of the gauge. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment A: Resolution 2016-027 <br /> Agenda Item – 1A <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
