Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 24, 2008 Page 13 Mr. Gallop advised that he was involved with establishing lake regulations in the City of Shoreview, with 150' slow, no-wake signs on those lakes, and it took ap- proximately two years to process the request through the Department of natural Resources (DNR). Mr. Gallop advised that the City would need to show a defi- nite need and reason for that need to establish such restrictions, then process it through the Lake Association and the DNR. Councilmember Ihlan questioned the use of chemicals to control weeds in the lake, noting this was also a previously expressed concern of lake residents. Mr. Gallop advised that last year, a resident against the course and jump had al- leged that the Safe Boating Association was responsible for putting chemicals in the lake. Mr. Gallop clarified that it was the Lake Owasso Homeowner's Associa- tion that handled those issues; and not the Safe Boating Association. Mr. Gallop advised that members of the Safe Boating Association were homeowners, and were also part of the homeowner's association as they lived on the lake, but that the two were not connected. Joe Bester, 360 W Horseshoe Drive Mr. Bester, a member of the Lake Owasso Homeowner's Association, advised that there was currently a massive study of Lake Owasso by the Grass Lake Wa- tershed District, and that agency, and/or the DNR would be the place for lake resi- dents to express their concerns on lake treatment. Mr. Bester also advised that the annual meeting of the Homeowner's Association was held on the third Thursday of April, with this year's meeting scheduled on Thursday, April 17, 2008, to be held at the Roseville Skating Center. Mr. fester noted that the start time and noise was only being created by a small group of people, with three boats coming on the lake particularly early, and after recent discussions, two of those users had committed to adding mufflers to their boats to reduce the noise. Mr. Bester noted that this was a simple solution provid- ing good. results. Mayor Klausing opened and closed the Public Hearing at 7:17 p.m. with no one appearing for or against.
