REQUEST FROM SUNSET LAKE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO DEPOSIT AQUATIC VEGETATION ON PUBLIC LAND At its September 6, 2005 meeting, Council tabled the request from the Sunset Lake homeowners association to deposit aquatic vegetation on City property located at Homestead Drive & 125d' Street and the former lake access located at the north end of Homestead Drive instead of trucking it to the City's compost site. Council requested a management plan from the association in order to better determine the short-term and long-term effects of what the aquatic vegetation would do. Association president Jim Laumer was present at the meeting to present Council with a management plan, which was originally submitted to the RCWD, as well as pictures of what is being proposed. No more harvesting will be done this year, so composting would not be done until 2006.

Miron made motion, Granger seconded, to approve the request to dispose of aquatic vegetation on the City's parcel of land at 1250' Street and Homestead Drive and keep Council updated on status of project.
