The city also has been checking the lake's depth, since the dredging project (still <br />looking good). The LOWQTF is requesting an additional $960 to test other <br />parameters that track the health of the Lake Orono. Staff supports this request. <br />This testing will develop a baseline from which future changes to the lake can be <br />ascertained. The more in depth testing is also required for the LOWQTF to receive <br />grant money so they can work on even more water quality issues within the city. <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />The city is fortunate to have a dedicated group of volunteers that are willing to <br />supplement staff's time by working on some very important environmental issues. Their <br />total funding request is for $3,960. Staff recommends the Council show their support <br />for this group's efforts by granting their request. <br /> <br />This money was not identified in the 2002 budget. If granted, it will need to come from <br />the Council Contingency Fund. Staff will identify this funding in the 2003 budget. <br /> <br /> <br />
