LRRWMO Meeting Minutes June 21, 1989 Page 5 A motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Mathisen, to accept the Draft Guidelines for the Lower Rum River WMO and submit both proposals for reviewing projects to the respec- tive member cities for their review and comment. Said comments shall be brought back to this board at the July meeting. All voted yes. Motion carried. Upon discussion of other matters, Mathisen queried the status of the proposed Rum River Minimum Wake Ordinance at the county level. Schrantz indicated that it doesn't sound as if any action will take place this year. A motion was made by Mathisen, seconded by Raatikka, direction that the Recording Secretary draft a letter to Anoka County Commission Chairman Dan Erhart requesting a update on the status of the ordinance. Schrantz briefly discussed the process the county must go through before any action can be taken on the ordinance. Weaver stated that there is a great deal of abuse and hazard happening on the Rum River. Members queried the possibility of posting signs, especially at the boat launching area, on an interim emergency basis. Weaver agreed that there would be no official enforcement, but didn't feel people would question its authority. Raatikka suggested that the WMO attorney or county be contacted about the feasibility of such action. Weaver agreed to telephone Mr. Pearson requesting his advise on the possibility of signing the public landing on the public land in the City of Anoka. Schrantz indicated that Pam McCabe is working on the matter in the County Attorney's office. Weaver would be reporting back to Chair- man Schrantz. Vote on the motion: All voted yes. Motion carried. NEW BUSINESS Recording Secretary Mava Mikkonen queried what her specific duties are or will be, urging each member to realize that at present she is considered the Recording Secretary. She urged that each member realize that there is no staff and unless otherwise directed by the board, she assumes that each board member will be responsible for communications with their respective cities and staff. Mathisen asked that this matter be placed on the July agenda for clarification.
