A. 3. being revised to read as follows: <br />"In no event, shall a motorized watercraft or person being towed an recreational <br />equipment by such watercraft, pass bet�rveen a raft and the nearest shoreline. " <br />This action was taken with the understanding that the Roseville City Council may have to <br />reconsider their May 12, 1997 action on the Joint Powers Agreement. The Shoreview <br />City Cauncil felt that the drafted language does not take inta account rafts that are located <br />greater than 150 feet from shore. The suggested language clarifies that no motorized <br />watercraft (including person being towed) can pass between a raft and the nearest <br />shareline and does not include a specified distance. The Council agreed that it is very <br />difficult to enforce specific distances and this approach wauld provide safety to <br />swimmers in the water, on a raft, or under the water. <br />E�s we discussea yesieraay on tize pnone, inere inay �e aitcrr��a��ve l�i�;ua�:, ��a� U�� c� <br />accomplishes both of our community's goals for boating safety on Lake Owasso. If you <br />have any suggestions, please feel free to cantact me. I wauld also like to confer with our <br />Lake Regulations Comrnittee if we develop revised language so we don't have another <br />lengthy Council discussion on this issue. <br />If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact David Ebeling or me at <br />490-4652 or 490-4611. <br />Sincerely, <br />....W� _�� � <br />�� `����.�,���;�� ��.�,� .. wo�w <br />Terry� chwerm <br />�ity IVI� -anager <br />cc: I7avid Ebeling <br />t:\letter\rosevi I lejpa <br />
