The presentation <br />detailed Lake Bennett and stated that lake would be more difficult to reduce due to <br />its existing and different conditions from Lake Como. The presentation showed <br />another major update that the surface water management plan is at the watershed <br />for approval. <br />Member Joyce asked if the City owned Harriet -Alexander. <br />Mr. Johnson replied yes and stated the area was good for flood storage efforts but <br />not so good for water quality efforts. Mr. Johnson stated that the parking lot was <br />redone and that the annual clean-up day went very well. <br />Chair Cihacek questioned if there was any consideration in separating the areas <br />where items can be brought for the clean-up day to reduce wait times. <br />Mr. Johnson stated that separate drop off areas have been considered but that people <br />have multiple items and want to get rid of everything in one trip. He stated that <br />staffing becomes an important factor. <br />Member Wozniak stated that he did not have to wait long, but that he knew others <br />that waited over an hour. <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />
