Approval and discussion of minutes from 12~ 18!96. 1`linutes were unanimously appro~•ed with the following corrections and discussion: I~finimum muskie size is 48" (question #2); additional properties on the 1%29 mailing list are at the SE end (p. 5 line 6); 9 3: p.4 should be attributed to Dave Zappetillo. Jim Stark will get further clarification from Joel Schilling on the significance of annual i•s. monthly water clarit5° trends. ?fifth regard to watershed project expenditures c•s. possible lack of significant improvement so far: panelists expected ~•ert• slow improvement (Schilling) and affirmed the importance of reducing nutrient inputs from the ~•atershed (Schilling. '~oonan,. 4#; Zappetillo, #9). 2. Planning for 1 ~29~9~ public input meeting, Preliminar~• discussion. The citt~ council is looking to the task force for solid recommendations on the no-wake buffer issue (SN). The l 1i96~'95 petition to Roseville's-city council indicated strong opposition (122 signatures, >90°z signed) to adopting the 150' buffer zone if it meant a 2nd ski slalom could be installed (PE). Discussion of skiing activity on the lake ensued. An application fora 2nd slalom in the S??J end should be separate from the no-«.°ake ordinance and is unlikely to be approved by the cit}~ due to strong neighborhood objection (G?'~-). The Lake Owasso Safe Boating club (elei•en families) exists to obtain insurance through the American ?'Water Ski Association. New members are accepted onlt• if then use the equipment appropriately. The installers of the temporars~ course in the S?~' end in 1995 are now members. A second (or temporary) slalom will probably not be pursued but would be an advantage in certain weather. also. the existing slalom is heavily used. Six other seasonal courses are ai•ailable on local lakes. Complaints about the slalom and jump are sent to the club person in charge and are returned to the city or sheriff if not resolved (DA). Multiple uses of the lake need to be protected <KL). Problems with the 300' ordinance include enforcement, different lay;•s for skiers and other motorists. public ignorance. and restricted boating in the S??- end. The DR's current regulatory options do not include boat-boat or skier-shore no-wake buffers as in the current ordinance. Mitch Converse could assist the task force in drafting a new ordinance (Gfi.-). Preliminar~° consensus was developed by a roundtable discussion: summarized in item #3. Prepare agenda. The LOTF needs to present a preliminar}° consensus on 1!29 to provide a useful focus for discussion.. The first part of the meeting will provide brief background, the "preliminary° consensus" of the task force: and issues rele~•ant to consensus de~•elopment. A brief handout summarizing our findings will be distributed at the beginning of the meeting. The public should understand that eve have not reached a final conclusion. LOTFminutes 1!819""
