Staff is proposing to amend the current policy and adopt the Minnesota Department of Health (MDB) guidelines used for recreational purposes. She stated that the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust recommended the adoption of these guidelines. MDH guidelines require the beach to be posted when the fecal coliform counts exceed 200. She reviewed the proposed testing frequency, standard for posting warnings, additional protocol, and information regarding notice when the beach is to be posted. She stated that the beach would never be closed but if the counts exceed 200, signage will be posted stating "Caution - Impaired Water Quality - Potential Health Risk if Swallowed."
