City Council meeting of July 17, 2001 <br />Page 4 <br />AERATOR FOR ONEKA LAKE <br />Bruce Bernin has contacted staff regarding the City's interest in installing an aerator on Oneka Lake to <br />allow the lake to remain open over the winter so that there is not a total fish kill, which happened this <br />past winter.
