He then <br />commented the City is trying to figure out what conservative measures can enhance <br />survivability of the birds. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated the majority of lakes have restrictions and to have no <br />restrictions is very unusual. She then said she looks at the issue as the County and the DNR <br />have asked what the City can do to get the birds to nest. She further commented that she <br />hopes there is a way to accommodate both sides ofthe issue. <br /> <br />A member of the audience asked where Lino Lakes fits in.
