POW/MIA Proclamation Eder presented the National P.O.W./M.I.A Proclamation designating July 20, 1984 be observed as "National POW/MIA Recognition Day".

M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - To proclaim July 20, 1984 as "National POW/MIA Recognition Day". (Motion carried 5-0). 7. Administrator's Report A. Citizens on Lake levels. Gary Tewinkel, on behalf of the residents living on Lakes Olson and DeMontreville, presented a petition signed by 42 individuals on the two lakes requesting the boating ban on these two lakes be lifted immediately. The reasons for wanting this ban lifted are (1) they would like to continue the multi -use of the lake; (2) the season is very short; (3) the level of these two lakes warrant the lifting of the ban; The Administrator stated he spoke with Dick Murray and as of Friday, July 13th, the water level had not yet dropped to the 930 level where the ban could be lifted. Without any more rain, it is anticipated that the ban would be off shortly. There was concern expressed by the residents that they were not included in the decision to set the levels for Lakes Olson and DeMontreville at 930. The residents would like to be notified when the public hearings take place for the adoption of the ordinance pertaining to lake levels. Morgan stated that the intention was to store eight inches of water on Lakes Olson and DeMontreville with sandbags. What he would like to see is to remove the no -wake ban on these lakes and have it reapplied when the water got to the level of eight inches above the weir. The Engineer stated that the appropriate level for these two lakes is the same level at which the decision is made to put sandbags on the weir, should that every happen again. M/S/P Morgan/Mazzara - To adopt Resolution 84-44 removing the no -wake ban on Lakes Olson and DeMontreville and reinstating it only if the necessity for sandbagging occurs; (and the City Administrator will research the correct level at which the no -wake ban will be enforced which will be part of this resolution).
