included on the detailed implementation chart as further reviewed by Correll /Petersen and prioritized; and review by Correll /Petersen of the GLWMO's grant application for that study. Comments # 142 and # 143 Ms. Correll advised that the GLWMO response to these comments should be, "Will be addressed in the next draft of this plan ;" as she received revised text from Mr. Petersen and as she and Mr. Petersen brainstormed on how to sufficiently address BWSR's request for a measurement of stewardship for programs. Comment #154 Ms. Correll clarified that the intended date reflected when a decision would be made by respective member City Councils. Comment #232 Ms. Correll noted that this was a question from Mr. Edward Roberts (Lake Owasso Association) regarding the Wabasso outlet structure; speculation by Mr. Roberts about blocking of and/or tampering with the weir in August of 2011. Chair Eckman advised that she had been alerted by Task Force member Joanna LaBresh about alleged tampering with the weir from Lake Owasso to Lake Wabasso on the Wabasso side through installation of boulders or rebar. Mr. Maloney advised that he had been made aware that someone had placed riprap under the North Owasso at the outlet portion of the pipe blocking the flow into Lake Wabasso. At the request of Chair Eckman, Mr. Ferrington provided additional context; noting that this area included a recreation area west of that small channel into Lake Wabasso with a lot of youngsters playing in that area. Mr. Fen7ngton opined that it was unknown whether it was a case of children playing, or if it could be interpreted as an intentional attempt to dam it up to increase the lake level. Mr. Maloney advised that this was the second time Shoreview staff had removed the materials and put it back together in the last five (5) years. Mr. Maloney noted that there were different versions of the story depending on who was speaking. Regarding the comment /response for this item, Mr. Maloney opined that it seemed more related to storm sewer operations than a Plan issue; and that it was not clear to him on the exact reference for the comment. Mr. Maloney clarified that it was not a weir, but an overflow device in Lake Owasso with the pipe discharging into Lake Wabasso, and was simply semantics. Chair Eckman suggested that the GLWMO response to this comment simply be that the comment was not clear enough to define an appropriate response. Mr. Maloney noted that this was the Boards prerogative; however, since it was a storm sewer and maintenance operation that was handled by a member City, the Board should respond accordingly rather than responding to speculation by a resident. Chair Eckman directed Ms. Correll to remove her question from that comment. Comment 4166 Ms. Correll advised that she would provide a response for Comment #232 similar to that provided for Comment #166, that the board had already articulated their response. on
