Regular City Council Meeting Minutes Monday, April 23, 2007 Page 21 at the Roseville Ice Rink on Thursday, April 26, 2007; estimating that approximately 95% of lakeshore homeowners were members of the association, consisting of residents of both the City of Roseville and the City of Shoreview. Mr. Gallop further noted that this is the group responsible for weed control on the lake. Mr. Gallop advised of the existence of various agreements and regula- tions, and additional discussion included agreements in place regard- ing lake regulations; enforcement of those regulations; time allotted for additional patrols by Ramsey County Water Patrol; seasonal post- ing at public landings; and cooperative patrol by lakeshore residents and the Sheriffs Department. Councilmember Pust observed that several concerns addressed tonight were being addressed, but that the public was simply not aware of those actions. Mayor Klausing opined that those concerns raised tonight were good to bring to the Council's attention; and asked staff to allow time in the future to revisit the issues and follow-up on those concerns. Roe moved, Klausing seconded, recommended approval to the Ram- sey County Sheriffs Department, the request of the Lake Owasso Safe Boating Association's for placement of a water ski course and jump on Lake Owasso for the 2007 season; and asked staff to com- municate with the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department concerns ex- pressed at tonight's meeting by citizens, and request, on behalf of the City Council, additional information and any incident reports related to permitting this activity in the past, currently on file, or received during this 2007 permit season. Councilmember Ihlan advised that she would be voting "nay" based on a lack of evidence on the significant use of the course and/or jump; concerns about their location; and negative impacts on other uses and possible neighborhood impacts. Councilmember Ihlan requested that the concerns raised tonight be formally conveyed, verbatim, to the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department, to ensure that they are recorded into the permitting process.
