In addition, a date for the public <br />hearing to establish the district was also set. He noted it was necessary to give the <br />DNR 40 days notice prior to the public hearing creating the district. He indicated <br />to meet this deadline and still have the hearing on September 29, the engineering <br />report was forwarded to the DNR on August 20. He stated if all goes according to <br />plan, the district should be created and the bid for the project awarded at the <br />September 29 meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked what the lake level had dropped to since their last <br />discussion. Mr. Moore replied the lake was going down 1/10th of an inch a day. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked for clarification on the Lake Improvement <br />District's responsibilities and asked how long would the District last. Mr. Filla <br />replied the District would continue until Council decided it was no longer <br />necessary. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson noted ,he hoped the District was disbanded once the <br />assessments were paid for. He stated he believed the City should not get involved <br />in trying to oversee the interest of the lakeshore property owners. He noted it was <br />better if the residents set up their own association and not the City. <br />
