CONSIDER DESIGNATING LOTUS LAKE AS A SLOW/NO-WAKE ZONE:
Lori Haak presented a staff report and resolution recommending that an emergency no-
wake area be declared for Lotus Lake due to recent rainfall.
Todd Gerhardt explained that enforcement would be conducted by the Carver County
Sheriff’s Office and that it would be considered as a base level service under the contract.
Councilman Lundquist asked how long this status would remain in place. Lori Haak
explained that it would remain until the water level was below the ordinary high water
mark for three consecutive days, which would probably be a week.
Gerhardt then gave an update regarding storm issues throughout the community.
A motion was made by Councilman Lundquist and seconded by Councilman
Peterson to approve Resolution 2005-71 establishing an emergency no-wake area for
Lotus Lake. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
A motion was made by Councilman Lundquist and seconded by Councilman Peterson to
adjourn the meeting at 5 p.m.
