Page 1 o f 2 <br />Margaret Driscoll <br />From: Dick Lee [dlee@h-ym.corn� <br />Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 9;48 PM <br />To: �RVCounci� <br />Subject: Monday Meeting Regarding Ski Jump ,-• _ i, r� � <br />Thank you in advance for reading this - at Monday's council meeting, I plan to raise objections to <br />the ski buoys and especially the ski jump. I have lived on Lake Owasso for fourteen years. I'm on <br />the lake fishing many early mornings and evenings, and my wife is out on her pontoon boat <br />frequently duringthe day. Neither one of us has everseen the skijump used. Nor, for that matter, <br />have our many, many friends and neighbors who live on the Roseville side of the lake. The <br />dilapidated jump is an eyesore, a navigation impediment on a busy lake and an impedimentto <br />fishing one of the best cabbage weed pods in the lake. But more importantly, the water skiing group <br />on Lake Owasso is pulling out the jump year after yearto make sure that it's "grandfathered in," in <br />case someone wants to use it in the future. Placing a large, unused impediment on the lake is an <br />unfair imposition on lake users as a whole. <br />In response to these concerns, l would propose that permission to place the ski jump this year be <br />contingent on solid proof that it was used last year. <br />Further, and I respect that this topic may be "out of bounds" for tomorrow's meeting, I would like to <br />formally request that the City of Roseville assume direct responsibility for determining what weed <br />killing toxins get dumped into Lake Owasso. The "Lake Owasso Association" is, in fact, the water <br />skiing contingent. In keeping with its makeup, this "association" has disseminated misinformation <br />regarding the threat from weeds to the watershed—to the point of ignoring and even contradicting <br />DNR input. I believe that it would be appropriate and responsible for the City Council to ask for DNR <br />input directly, and to decide whether and how to treat the lake based on mixed use parameters. <br />The "association" would like to institute a"scorched bottom" policy; however, that would destroy <br />the fishing in the lake, which is already compromised by the amount of chemicals dumped into it. <br />In response to these concerns, l would propose that the City Council no longer allow a self- <br />interested group to decide for all lake dwellers how defoliants are used nor to be awarded the <br />privilege of communicatingand interpreting to all concerned citizens the pros and cons of high <br />volume defoliant use—and that the City Council assume direct responsibilityin this matter. <br />I will be respectful of yourtime and agenda Monday, but I hope that you will take these concerns <br />seriously. <br />Regards, <br />Dick Lee <br />� r: _c� cnr� <br />�7IaS7�41,1a <br />
