May 5,-1982 Park Board Minutes Page 2 Anderson said he received excellent feedback from the DNR. They gave good suggestions. The ordinance coincides with others in the state. The basic intent has not been changed from three years ago.. Carlson said that in thy; revised ordinance, the lake can only be closed by the Director of Parks and Recreation, Police Chief or City.ManaN~er. Homeowners asked what happens when the lake is closed .for more. than 5 days? Can someone be contacted to .keep it closed? Anderson said the lake closes when the water reaches a certain elevation and stays closed until it recedes. Carlson asked why. there are two .different statements on the lake closings. Anderson said 19:31 talks about elevation, and the lake would reopen when the water recedes. 19-35 gives the Director or Parks and Recreation, the Police Chief and City Manager authority to close the lake because of something other than high water. Carlson said that previous ordinance gave a definition of a wake. Anderson said it was felt that the 19.:30 definition of a wake gave enough description to cover the problem. This is accepted language that will be used throughout the state. Motion by Carlson, seconded by Dahl, to recommend the ordinance to the .City Council. Motion passed. C. Discussion of New .Brighton Composting and Garden Sites Elizabeth Jeffrey Huddleston, New Brighton Composting Coordinator, was present and stated she was looking for a city-wide composting area for leaves only.. There is a site at Innsbruck North that is being considered. Tt is an old gravel pit. Would .like con- cept.ual approval from ;:the Park Board.. The site would need Labor. from the city for a road to get there and for pickup about three times a week. Have checked with Dave Fridgen and he said the site looks good. The site is hidden from pepple's sight. Haulers are. willing to donate their time for two weekends.. Gunderman asked if the. area can be chained off? Huddleston said there is a natural berm there now, Gunderman sand he likes the idea but doesn't like the idea that people bring their own because. they may be dumping more than leaves.
