LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 18, 1988 Page 3 NEW BUSINESS No -wake Ordinance - Mr. Pearson reported that cities cannot mandate controls on motor size on the Rum River. It is the function of the county. Should this group so choose, a resolution could be adopted asking the county board to proceed with the recommended action or ask member cities to voice their opinion and request them to ask the county to proceed. Chairman Schrantz suggested that a public hearing be held to determine the level of concern within the communities with regard to river bank erosion due to lack of motorboat controls. Motion was made by Mr. Weaver, seconded by Mr. Raatikka, to authorize our legal counsel, to draft a letter on behalf of this Lower Rum River Water Management Organization to the proper authority in Anoka County making them aware that the motor and speed restriction problems on the Rum River have come to our attention. Because this board doesn't have police authority to do such patrolling and the county does, we request their consideration and review. All voted yes. Motion carried. Upon further discussion of the review process of the plan, Mr. Pearson recommended that a copy of the approved resolution along with a cover letter be sent to each reviewing agency. Chairman Schrantz stated that he feels the plan should go to each council for their approval and back to this WMO before being sent to other reviewing agencies. Mr. Pearon recommended that whatever action is taken, that it be done as group endeavor. Motion was male by Chairman Schrantz, seconded by Mr. Raatikka, to have a letter submitted to the reviewing agencies under the signature of the WMO secretary. All voted yes. Motion carried. Mr. Weaver requested that Mr. Pearson prepare a proper letter over the secretary's signature to go to agencies who receive copies of the plan. ADJOURNMENT There being no further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Mathisen, seconded by Mr. Weaver, and unanimously carried, that the meeting be adjourned at 10:05 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Mava Mikkonen, Recording Secretary
