Chairman Schrantz referred to a 3 -9 -88 letter from Dan Steward, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, with information relating to the Water Management Plan reviewal process. OLD BUSINESS 1. Water Management Plan - Commission members reviewed the proposed draft of the Water Management Plan page by page, recommending several changes. Motion was made by Mr. Weaver, seconded by Mr. Raatikka, to approve, in substance, the report prepared by Barr Engineering, with the suggested minor modifications noted. Final plan is to be submitted by the May meeting. All voted yes. Motion carried. 2. W.MO liability insurance information Report from Mr. Weaver was postponed until the May meeting. NEW BUSINESS Lyle Bradley, 15202 7th Ave. N.W., Andover, addressed the WMO stating his concern with the erosion of the Rum River due to motor boat traffic. He suggested that the communities involved within this WMO establish a tighter control on the size of the motors allowed on the Rum River. Mr. Bradley reported that the county is nearly helpless on this matter, and the DNR has no control. Mr. Weaver suggested that perhaps the Water Management Plan should reference this issue. Also, it was suggested that the cities consider adopting a no -wake ordinance to help alleviate this problem. Mr. Bradley stated that many offenders are simply not aware of the results of their large horsepower engines. Chairman Schrantz agreed to contact WMO attorney Curtis Pearson re- garding the possibility of a no -wake ordinance. Further information will be reported at the 5 -18 -88 meeting. ADJOURNMENT There being no- further discussion, a motion was made by Mr. Raatikka, seconded by Mr. Weaver, and unanimously carried, that the meeting adjourn at 10:17 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Mava Mikkonen, Secretary
