LRRWMO Meeting Minutes • May 16, 1990 Page 5 Mathisen stated the City of Coon Rapids is not going to take official action. Members concurred Schrantz should contact Mr. Nagel agreeing to allow him to set up a joint meeting with member cities' staff, planners, city managers and LRRWMO Consulting Engineer Dean Skallman to thoroughly discuss the proposed water quality management guidelines. Implementation of the Operating Procedure for the LRRWMO Continued to the June 1990 meeting. (Mathisen left at 10:30 a.m.) NEW BUSINESS Ramsey Bike Trail Members discussed a concern raised by Ramsey residents in their May la, 1990, letter to Chairman Schrantz, relating to a City of Ramsey proposed bike trail along a portion of a swamp located north of County Road 83. They fear the plan- ning for the bike trail does not take into consideration the destruction of wetlands and effect on wildlife. Raatikka explained the proposed easement for the bike trail is approximately 75 feet, but they could get by with less. This would include the construction of two trail ways and a buffer area along these residents' 2.5 acre lots. In answer to Schrantz's query, Skallman indicated the LRRWMO does not have any jurisdiction over this matter. However, he stated Trott Brook is a protected wetland in its entirety within the City of Ramsey. Members concurred these residents be told the LRRWMO is investigating the issue and has asked the City of Ramsey to respond with more details. Mississippi River Noise Pollution Weaver reported the excessive noise created by high speed power boats on the Mississippi River has been brought to the attention of the Anoka City Council. He felt this board should be involved in this type of situation when the public safety and well being of residents are not being served. No formal action taken.
