Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />I have discussed the possible formation of a "No Wake Zone" for <br />the southwest bay of Lake Gervais with Mike McGuire, City Manager <br />of Maplewood. He indicated their city would likely be receptive <br />to this request, with the only caveat being citizen reaction. He <br />suggested we put together a draft and get it to them for action. <br />We also discussed the possibility of the County enacting this <br />ordinance. We felt it would be better accomplished at the city <br />level in order that we not lose our ability to react to citizen <br />input. <br />Also, enclosed for your review is the DNR's information regarding <br />water surface management. You will note that there are a number <br />of options available from the regulatory standpoint (See <br />6110.3700). Based on my conversation with Lieutenant Bergeron of <br />the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department, we would be proposing the <br />initiation of a "slow -no wake" zone for the southwest bay for a <br />24 hour a day period which would be in effect the entire calendar <br />year. If the Council feels modifications to this approach are <br />warranted, we should discussed them at Wednesday's meeting. <br />Should you have any comments or questions in the meantime, please <br />let me know. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosure <br />Page 36 <br />
