3. The proposed master plan names New Brighton as the unit of government responsible for operation and maintenance of the boat launches and fishing area. This was included as a concession to lake residents' concerns regarding proper "control" over these facilities. If the Council wishes to have that. control, the Joint Powers Agreement should be amended to be consistent with page X - 2 & X - 3 of the proposed master pawn... 4. .Attached is information from the Minnesota Department: of Energy, Planning and Development regarding pro- cedures for alternative uses of Lawcon funded..property. Item #3 was interpreted to me ws requiring that the north and west. shores of Long Lake would have to be`condemned for park purposes to satisfy this re- quirement. Even if it were possible to secure approval, the process is long and difficult with little. chance of success. 5. The most. recent recommendation from .the. Long. Lake Improve- ment Association lists four objections to the proposed master plan. The concerns expressed in 1) and 2) were carefully addressed in-the planning process, however it is obvious that the Association is not satisfied. St is the opinion of staff and the Park Board that a good. faith effort has been made to protect .the interests of lakeshore owners and to provide a high quality recrea- tional facility. Item 3) refers to 30 boats. The plan calls for 20 "powered " boats; 5 of these are high speed powered boats. The Park Board recommends 15 powered boats, 5 of .those to be high speed power boats, -Item 4) - the parking lot is .designed for 150 ears, the Park Board recommended 100 cars-.with an .estimated us by 200-500 persons. There has .been concern expressed by Ramsey County-staff concerning the Park Board's recommendation regarding the termination date of the Joint Powers Agreement.. Don Lais and I have been working with staff from the County Attorney Office in an attempt to formulate acceptable `language. Suggested wording of #7 (Joint_Poti?ers Agree- ment) is as follows: This agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2000, unless the agreement is revised or terminated upon terms mutually agreeable to the parties. The parties expressly agree that any disputes arising hereunder that are not satisfactorly resolved,shall,_ upon appli- cation of one of the parties hereto be submitted to an arbitrator who will have full authority to resolve the dispute. The parties expressly agree that transfer of fee title to Long Lake Park from the City to the County prior to the termination date of this agreement shall not accelerate the date of termination. attachment
