May 6, 1981 Park Board Minutes <br />Page 2 <br />~: <br />Anderson said to improve the pond or lagoon area. It was funded <br />several years ago with the majority of the money being from the. . <br />federal government. <br />Gunderman asked what will cause it not to happen again. <br />Anderson said they have removed erosion problems upstream and <br />think that will help. They also have a settling pond which they <br />hope will help the problem. There are plans to straighten the <br />channel. The plan will go to the EQC and then to the Council. <br />Work will begin late this summer. <br />Van Hatten asked how deep the material will be. <br />Anderson said 15-20''feet. <br />Carlson asked if there was anything the Park Board could do to <br />encourage the dredging of the channel or at least up to it. <br />The channel is shallow. If the posts are removed., that takes <br />away the visual awareness to slow down. It could be dangerous <br />for those that do not know the lake. <br />Anderson suggested that this be included in the motion, <br />Van Hatten asked how they will get the sludge to the top of the <br />hill. <br />Anderson said they will pipe it there. • <br />Gunderman asked if any of the material removed from the lake coin <br />be used for the road. <br />Anderson said it's not good material for. that purpose and can be <br />better utilized in other areas of the park. <br />Motion by Dahl, seconded by Van Hatten, to approve-the dredging <br />disposal ,sites at Long Lake Park. Motion passed. <br />Motion by Van Hatten, seconded by. Johnson, to add to the motion <br />that the channel be deepened. Motion passed. <br />B. .Ice Surface Debris <br />Anderson said the debris is the worst he has ever seen on .the lake. <br />The DNR also received alot of complaints and have hauled alot of <br />debris off the lakes. Our Maintenance crew and volunteers also <br />hauled-off much of the debris. Bensing, in his letter, is asking <br />if there is anything that can be done in the future to avoid this <br />problem. The DNR was no help, The City could have an ordinance <br />but it has to be enforced, It is very hard to enforce because you <br />have to actually see someone violating the ordinance. The law <br />is strict but hard to enforce. The only suggestion he has is to <br />clean up every year as we have been. ' <br />
