City Planner Anderson stated that the DNR would regulate and could order a cease and desist on <br />the activity and could continue enforcement through penalties or fines, including a misdemeanor. <br /> <br />Board Member Valentine asked if something about hunting should be included in the Fact Sheet. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson stated that perhaps a statement could be added addressing that type of <br />activity or clearing for hunting activity. <br /> <br />Councilmember LeTourneau asked if the Board would be open to inviting the property owners <br />along the lake into a public forum, which could make it easier for the residents to understand the <br />Fact Sheet and regulations. <br /> <br />The Board agreed that they would be open to a public forum, as long as the other municipalities <br />and agencies would be involved as well in addition to Ramsey so that it does not appear that <br />Ramsey is taking the lead. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson noted that as this is sent forward to the other communities, staff can <br />gauge their interest in participating in an open forum and noted that the Conservation District <br />would also be helpful as that organization previously attempted to hold a forum of that nature. <br />He noted that he would like to avoid providing false expectations of what could be done in terms <br />of aquatic plant management. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Chairperson Stodola and seconded by Board Member Covart to direct staff to <br />finalize the Rogers Lake Fact Sheet and route it to staff at Nowthen, Oak Grove, and the Anoka <br />Conservation District for their review. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Stodola, Board Member Covart, Anderson, Bernard, <br />Hiatt, Trossen, and Valentine. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />6.
