<br />Park and Recreation Commission <br />September 13, 1995 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Committee is recommending dredging the lake for the purpose of improving the <br />recreational quality of the lake and water depth. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street and Parks Superintendent, feels that the silting problem has <br />nothing to do with the water quality. <br /> <br />The Dredging Committee is looking for support in maintaining future control of <br />sedimentation levels also. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe Anderson stated that he thinks that the public will think there <br />will be more benefit from dredging the lake than what will actually be. They will <br />think that it will increase the water Quality, when in fact it will not. Water Quality <br />is a major concern with the Park and Recreation Commission. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission supports the idea of dredging exploration of <br />Lake Orono if the water Quality is a topic of exploration. They are not convinced <br />that dredging is the answer. They are also in favor of improving the recreational <br />quality in the lake. <br /> <br />Commissioner Madsen was nominated to be on the Dredging Committee to <br />represent the Park and Recreation Commission. <br /> <br />7c.
