Mr. Scherer moved to approve the minutes as corrected . Seconded by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried unanimously. 81-82 LAWCON GRANT Mr. Schumacher reported that the City' s application for a LAWCON Grant for the development of Country Lakes Park had received preliminary approval in the amount of $100 ,000 . 00 . This amount must be matched by a like amount of funds from the City. Mr. Schumacher pointed out that this does not have to be in the form of money - it can be donated labor and equipment . He felt that some of that amount can be attributed to the volunteer labor donated by the Corps of Engineers such as was done last summer in the preliminary grading and landscaping that had been done by that group . Mr. Schumacher pointed out the items that had been listed for completion with this grant funds - 900 ' access road , 3501 beach area, 24x36 bath house , , '115 car and boat parking lot , 15 acres landscaped, 45 car parking lot , 650 ' trail and one boat launching area with a 32 ' dock. This area would have a concrete apron and constructed according to State specifications . Mrs . LeBlond was concerned that a boat lauching area of this type would open up the lake to the large power boats . She felt that by having a boat launch of this type , the lake would be opened up for all types of water usage and the lake would become Mr. Schumacher pointed out that the area for parking boat trailers was limited to 15 - this in itself should limit the number of boats on the lake .. Mrs . LeBlond objected to the possible use of the lake by the larger types of boats and felt that the usage should be limited to canoes , sail boats and small fishing boats . Mr. Schumacher said what she was talking about was surface control of the use of the lake and that would have to be done by Ordinance . The development in this park will take a couple of years - the final application must be submitted and some other work done before actual work can begin. There is time to study and form such an ordinance if that is the desire of this Board and the City Council. Mr. Schumacher noted that Lino Lakes was ranked first this year coming up from 27th last year. He felt this was quite an accomplishment for the City. Mr. Volk pointed out that the Chain of Lakes Park is geared for canoes , sail boats and fishing. He felt itwould be'acouple of years before the Country Lakes Park is opened , and the City should work with the County to coordinate the use of the lakes .
