· Do personnel at the Scout Camp feel a no wake zone is necessary in their area? <br /> <br />Bob Litke, manager of the Scout Camp, indicates that they are not experiencing any major <br />problems with boat traffic. He states that the boat traffic is generally courteous and only on <br />occasion some boats go too fast. He also noted that the personal watercraft probably present <br />more problems than the boaters. <br /> <br />· What is the current status of personal watercraft legislation and who enforces it? <br /> <br />The new law that became effective June 1, 1998 states that personal watercraft must travel at <br />a no wake speed (5 mph or less) within 150 feet of: shore (except when launching or <br />landing a skier), docks, swimmers, swimming rafts, any moored or anchored watercraft, or <br />non-motorized watercraft. The laws will be enforced by the County Sheriffs department. <br />This legislation interprets to a speed limit of 5 mph on the Rum River for jet skiers. A more <br />extensive summary of the new legislation is enclosed in this case as Exhibit C. <br /> <br />On June 9, Staff was erroneously failed to provide City Council with copies of a letter received <br />from Gary and Bonnie Bagenstoss.
