Bakken, 3203 Shorewood Driv~ advised the Council that he has granted permission to several young boys to fish from his property In the channel between Little Lake Johanna and Lake Johanna, but the traffic is wearing the soc, and his property is rapidly failing away Into the water. Mr. Bakken suggested, as a partial solution to giving the boys access to the fish and to preserving his property, that the center section of the bridge, on both sides, be lowered, and that the boys be allowed to fish from the bridge. After discussion, L. Stromquist was requested by the Council to deter- mine who controls the bridge and to Inquire about the possibility of lowering the center section. Mr. Joseph Kahnke, 1541 Edqewater Aven!!.!., advised the Council that ' Lake Johanna Is rapidly becoming plugged with vegetation as the result of the constant dumping, by Village residents, of leaves and grass cl ippings in the swamp areas, which drain Into the lake. Mr. Kahnke suggested that the Village purchase some land away from water for residents to compost leaves and grass. After discussion, the Council authorized additional "No Dumping" signs to be posted on the swamp area at Edgewater Avenue, concentrated pollee patrol of the area and the issuance of citations to violators.

Based on Engineer D.
