_s be at this point in time. We're talking swimming access, we`re talking some kind of boating access which might be as I said before canning, fishing, wahtever, or coneeivabl~ power boating also. But I think the point remains that if Metro Council is going to fund it that there has to be some kind of (or boat?) access. to the lake Not necessarily both or all kinds of accesses but there has to be use of the lake. The water surface use is .critical to the regional pack a~-fit which it's envisioned to become and without Metro Council's funding of this the City is looking at picking a pretty good sized bill for development here. JS OK any further questions. Mr. Mayon. One follow up question to that na.ybe a little bit more ...specific. Can we restrict the access of motor boats to the citizens,'that is ca.n we prohibit the launching of motor boats without prohibiting ,~}~ motor boats on the Lake entirely, including lakeshore residents? MA Probably not.. And this is based on, -on can correct me if I'm wrong, but the Park Board asked the City Attorney. for an opinion on that - we probably cannot,: it would be very difficult to do anyway. ~' ~ ~,~'~z; _I~n In .other words our options are #1 to ban. all motor boats from the lake, ~ ,;, -that is other citizen and lakeshore residents. Our second option would be to_ restrict the size. of the motor, is that correct? MA Those are two options, cerrect.yes. ,, ;,1~M~9N The third option would be to retrict the hours of operation, ~f:, MA Yes There are different options regarding boat use: on the-lake obviously. And it's, the Park Board~is working right now on a quite park use ordinance:.. whch the Council will :get hopefully sometime this Spring and the Park Board is attempting to address exactly that issue. So hopefully we can get the issue of lake use addressed and solved before any'kind of development plan e - long before it ever domes back to the Coucnil for approval. --Okay, ah Mr. Mayor Yes
