She stated a postcard will be mailed notifying the lake owners of the <br />drawdown dates, encouraging them to remove docks and boats before that happens <br />and directing them to the city website for information on a shoreline permit. <br /> <br />Councilmember Christianson noted communication from staff to lake owners was <br />good and has heard positive feedback. <br /> <br />Ms. Erickson asked due to training and conference opportunities being minimal for <br />her in 2020, could those excess funds be reallocated to fund a recent invasion of <br />Eurasian watermilfoil on Lake Orono. She stated the Orono Lake Improvement <br />District (OLID) group was very proactive, receiving a permit from the DNR for <br />treatment, and they requested the city cover a share in the cost for treatment in the <br />amount of $654.59. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the council to pay $654.59 for this treatment from <br />funds reallocated from training/conferences. <br /> <br />Energy City / Garbage <br /> <br />Ms. Erickson presented the proposed Energy City and Garbage performance <br />measures, goals, and budget. <br /> <br />Fire <br /> <br />Chief Mark Dickinson presented the proposed Fire Department Administration & <br />Operations performance measures, goals, and budget. <br /> <br />Councilmember Ovall asked for clarification and tangible statistics (like a pie chart) <br />regarding fire incident calls to further understand the call response types. <br /> <br /> <br />
