Tnfomatjonal Memo for April 16 Meeting Page 2 <br />` <br />same situation <br />this year and do not <br />feel that <br />extra deputies are needed to <br />/ patrol the <br />area <br />during <br />the opening <br />of fishing <br />weekend" If the <br />Council <br />concurs, then <br />no <br />action <br />is necessary" <br />However, <br />if the Council <br />does desire <br />additional <br />deputies <br />on <br />duty during <br />the opening <br />of fishing they <br />should feel <br />free to add <br />this <br />item to <br />the Council <br />agenda. <br />7" Attached for your information is a letter from the DNR to VBWD <br />member Mr" Moosbrugger and Mr" Moosbrugger's response to the DNR" These <br />letters relate to the E�gl��_pgj_[lt~D��� and a potential grant to put up a <br />more permanent structure to control the flow of water" This was discussed <br />in 1994 and VBWD is the lead agency for the County`s grant application" <br />This dam is in the Regional Park and the County would he the controlling <br />agency if a grant for a permanent structure were installed" This is a <br />very important area to the City of Lake Elmo as the make —shift dam that <br />was built a number of years ago is not in the best of condition and the <br />City currently is making visual inspections and repairs as needed on this <br />structure on almost a daily basis. If this dam were to be removed or be <br />destroyed, the amount of water and damage downstream would be significant" <br />G. Nish to acknowledge that I will be meeting with DNR staff <br />member Del Barber regarding the ���k�_��l����ig�� that need to be installed <br />at the Lake Demon+reville and Lake Jane public accesses. You may recall <br />that late last year that these signs were removed as some of the wording <br />on the signs was confusing" I hope to reach an agreement with Mr. Barber <br />as to the appropriate wording on these signs and have them installed by <br />mid May, 1985" <br />9^ Wish <br />to acknowledge <br />the <br />1qB5 " As such, <br />there may be <br />Park Commission items <br />that need to be added <br />to the April 16, <br />1985 Council <br />agenda" <br />10^ Since Maintenance Forman Dave Wisdorf has left the city there <br />have been no monthly reports for the maintenance department" I wish to <br />acknowledge that the crew is making its typical transition from winter <br />activities to spring and summer activities" They are working on putting <br />the equipment in good running order and organizing the city shop" Some <br />minimal street repair has been done to fill in some of the potholes" This <br />is a temporary situation until the bituminous mix is available to -allow us <br />to complete a more permanent pothole repair program" Additionally, the <br />tennis court nets have been installed and the hockey boards have been <br />removed" <br />ll" <br />The <br />last blast of <br />winter that took place <br />on Sunday, March 31, <br />produced <br />about <br />15 inches of snow <br />which makes March, <br />1985, the <br />third <br />in <br />Minnesota. For 1985 we <br />received <br />over 72 <br />inches of <br />snow <br />and was ranked <br />as the 10th snowiest <br />winter on <br />record" <br />Until the <br />winter <br />of 1981/82, <br />only one winter season <br />on record <br />had as much <br />as 95 inches <br />of <br />snow" Since <br />this 1981/82 winter, <br />Minnesota <br />has gygEgggd <br />at least <br />85 inches <br />of snow" <br />12^ Attached for your information is an article on <br />There are programs on a more limited scale <br />available in the Washington County area and many cities offer these <br />services to the employee.
