° Erosion problems at Toby's on Tanners Lake--Bill proposes to treat stormwater runoff by <br />converting a few parking spaces into a holding pond at the far end of their lot and restoring <br />some shoreline. DNR may also be interested in partnering on this project. <br />° Student interns are conducting the purple loosestrife survey and control program. This data <br />will be added as a separate layer on the GIS system. Over atwo-year period, beetles have been <br />released at 13 sites. These sites will be monitored annually. <br />Cliff Aichinger stated that the budget does not include additional staff costs. The following <br />questions were asked of the Board regarding the possibility of expanding the program: <br />° Do we want to expand the Lakeshore restoration project to more sites? Should we offer acost- <br />share incentive program? <br />• Opportunities exist with schools and commercial demonstration properties; are these <br />worthwhile projects to pursue as opportunities present themselves? <br />Board consensus indicated that they would like more information presented at next month's <br />meeting to include a range of alternatives, long-term goals, costs, and consideration of sites that <br />have maximum public impact. <br />MnDOT Intersection Water Ouali Ponds <br />Roger Lake thanked staff for the nice job done in outlining possibilities where the District could <br />work with Mn/DOT on such concepts as infiltration areas, open water wetlands, rainwater <br />gardens, etc. <br />Gervais Beach Migration /South Gervais Coun Road B2 Floodin <br />Cliff Aichinger reported on the meeting hosted by Little Canada last night for County Road B2 <br />residents relative to the eventual county turnback of the road to the city.
