Mr. Petersen noted that the items were listed in chronological 162 order, with some ongoing and some planned in the future. The work Plan is meant for the 163 Organization, not specifically for him as an Administrator. 164 165 Items discusses 166 Hold two shoreline restoration workshops (Late April) 167 Mr. Petersen advised that this was originally discussed at the February meeting among Board 168 members and Ryan Johnson with the RCD; however, after further discussion by Mr. Petersen 169 and Mr. Johnson, it was determined that such an early timeframe for tours was not feasible. Mr. 170 Petersen noted that it was still the consensus to hold one to two workshops on Lake Owasso, 171 Wabasso Lake and Snail Lake to alert shoreline residents to the cost -share programs available for 172 shoreline stabilization and maintenance. However, Mr. Petersen suggested that it was essential 173 for future grant applications for Shoreline Stabilization Grant funds, a very competitive grant 174 program, that the Board hold the workshops, with one in Shoreview and one in Roseville at their 175 respective City Halls, and recruit 10 -15 residents interested in the program, in order to leverage 176 those grant resources in July. Mr. Petersen opined that by having a definite need identified with 177 interested parties, it would provide more impetus in leveraging those funds for the GLWMO. 178 Mr. Petersen advised that Mr. Johnson was willing to work with him in planning the meetings; 179 and expressed interest in advertising the workshops in the respective member City newsletters; 180 or to send direct mail postcard notices through the member cities to residents on lakes, to serve 181 as personal invitations to them and garner their interest. Mr. Petersen suggested that the Board 182 enlist the assistance of Len Ferrington to alert fellow residents on Lake Owasso and Wabasso 183 Lake and to also enlist the assistance of Mr. Maloney for residents on Snail Lake. 4
