LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 11-20-84 PAGE 7 possibilities and suggested that if the Council wants to do anything further with the level of Lakes Olson and DeMontreville, some kind of a study be made as to the affects of erosion because of the high ( water, before any further bans are considered. Mr. Sinclair stated he is in favor of eliminating Lakes DeMontreville and Olson from the boat ban. What concerns him is that last summer when the ban came into effect, he was not notified of the ban. He asked if there was a way of notifying the residents that lived on the lakes, because if the people knew that an item that affects them as much as the setting of levels where they can't go out fishing, water skiing, etc., they would be here expressing their concerns. The Council acknowledged a letter from Mr.and Mrs. D.K. Hubenette dated November 17, 1984 protesting the raising of the water level on Lakes DeMontreville and Olson.
