1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 19, 1994 <br />additional patrol and noted that the number of fish houses on the <br />Lake tripled from under 100 to over 300 since the mid 1980's. <br />The north end of the Lake which is partially in the City of Hugo <br />and the City of Lino Lakes is the shallowest part of the Lake and <br />the most fished. Mr Chase explained that the proposal for extra <br />patrol is not an "anti -fishing" proposal. He noted that when <br />that many fish houses are in one location, activity that <br />residents do not want to see are attracted. The compromise <br />is a proposal to hire more enforcement to curtail unwanted <br />activities on the Lake. <br />Council Member Kuether noted that a representative of the <br />Department of Natural Resources participated in the meetings. <br />This person explained that some citations were issued but were <br />thrown out in court. Mayor Reinert asked if citations issued by <br />the Sheriff's Department will also be thrown out. Mr. Chase <br />explained that the purpose of extra patrol is to discourage <br />unwanted activities. <br />Mr. Schumacher asked if the patrol process will be monitored. <br />Council Member Kuether explained that the ice fishing season is a <br />very short season. At the end of the season, the Sheriff's <br />Department will issue a report letting White Bear Township know <br />if the extra patrol helped to avoid some of the current problems. <br />This report will be shared with all entities involved. A new law <br />may be enacted regarding debris. This will be considered later. <br />Council Member Kuether explained that she is not convinced that <br />all the problems come from the ice fishing people. She noted <br />that there are problems in the summer as well. <br />Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Hawkins if there is a problem with <br />entering into this agreement. Mr. Hawkins said no. Mr. <br />Schumacher noted that funding for the Lino Lakes portion of the <br />Agreement will be determined by a budget amendment. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 101 <br />approving the Agreement. Council Member Elliott seconded the <br />motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Resolution No. 94 - 101 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br />ATTORNEY'S REPORT, BILL HAWKINS <br />Mr. Hawkins explained that the City is currently preparing to <br />construct a watermain along the east side of Hodgson Road and <br />easements are being acquired for this improvement.
