During the past two years there have been no complaints. Ebling noted that in order <br />to enforce a new ordinance, both communities and their joint powers agreement must be <br />in agreement. <br /> <br />Ltd. Jerry Bergeron, Ramsey County Sheriffs Office, stated that both communities need <br />one consistent ordinance on the lake. He stated that he is working with the residents to <br />form a "lake watch" group to solve problems on the lake, to provide the "eyes and ears" <br />on the lake, and to determine what is safe conduct on the lake. Currently there are seven <br />residents involved in the program who will become "lake captains". This is not a <br />conftontational type group but an observer type group. Dean Ankland is the secretary for <br />the lake captains. This lake watch group will act as patrollers of the lake to help the <br />
