City Council Minutes Page 11 <br /> May 6,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. Femrite clarified the cost presented did not include the cost of construction or <br /> design. <br /> Mayor Dietz liked the sound of the EZ Dock better than the last proposal and felt it <br /> seemed more feasible. <br /> Mr. Tatro stated they would start searching for grant options to cover the ADA <br /> portion but that,because of timelines,it would not be installed this year. <br /> Mayor Dietz clarified with Mr. Femrite that the city's main expense would be putting <br /> in and taking out the dock for winter storage. <br /> Councilmember Wagner asked if the DNR had any issues with cutting down the <br /> trees in the area. She didn't see any issue with the plan. <br /> Mr. Hecker stated they should not be removing any large trees. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard said they have discussed the concept of a dock for a few <br /> years. It would really add to the community and this seemed like the right system at <br /> the right location. He felt good on the total cost if funds could be raised. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked if the Parks and Recreation Commission should look over the <br /> proposal to see if they feel it's a good idea <br /> Councilmember Westgaard agreed the Parks and Recreation Commission may not <br /> want to change one of their Signature Park Master Plans. <br /> 10.5 Lake Orono Restoration and Enhancement (LORE) Update <br /> Ms. Bednar and Mr. Wisner presented the staff report. They explained the timeline <br /> of submitting the required materials. Mr.Wisner explained if the timeline stays on <br /> track, the lake could start to be dredged in September of 2020. <br /> 10.6 Creation of a Lake Orono Lake Improvement District (OLID) <br /> Ms. Bednar and Mr. Wisner presented the staff report. <br /> The application has been received and staff is verifying signatures. The process <br /> allows for residents to address specific concerns regarding the lake. A Lake <br /> Improvement District (LID) application is often submitted to a county but,because <br /> Lake Orono is entirely within the borders of Elk River, the city is the local governing <br /> unit. The OLID will help address concerns of invasive species and water quality but <br /> will not have taxing authority. The council will provide guidance to the group. <br /> UREJ <br />
