Five items (see discussion below) were identified as requiring City and County coordination. The last af these items concerns the Sheriff's Lake Watch Program, which is nat discussed here. In 1996, Ramsey County Public Works supplied a NO WAKE buay to the Caunty Sheriff's Department to designate the 150 foot NO WAKE distance in the southeast carner af Lake Owasso. This buoy was replaced in the same lacation by the Sheriff's Department in 1997. Lieutenant Jerry Bergeron of the Sheriff's Water Patral has indicated that they will continue to place the buoy in the future. County Public Works will place a NO WAKE buoy designating the 150 faot NO `J1,�AK� �os�a�ce at t�s �oat r��rN Gac � s�rin� �s Na�-t a� tha � amp ma� ►c�� u�y installation.

Public Works can install the signs at the boat ramp upon consultation with the County Parks Department.

The well is also a possible source of groundwater contamination, which is a ° e�a�'s F`i�t �Iome i�ule County printed on recyr,led paper w16h x minimnm of 10% post�eansumer r,ontenG ��
