Park and Recreation Director
City of Chanhassen

Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Todd,
Enclosed is a check for $13,861.36 from the LLCA to pay for our portion of the Volt inspections
for the South Lotus Lake boat ramp.
Thank you for working with the LLCA and the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District
to develop the inspection schedule. We appreciate meeting with you, and hope that in addition to
the actual inspections, we will be able to implement some of the ideas we discussed last week,
such as having the inspectors educate boaters about what to look for to prevent AIS spread (if the
boaters agree), and providing display tags to boaters to alleviate the confusion about whether the
early morning boaters are being inspected. We feel this would benefit both you and us, as people
would clearly be able to see that the boats in the lot were inspected. As we also discussed, the
idea of opening up voluntary inspections at Lotus Lake for Susan and Ann when no inspector is
on duty at those lakes would possibly help to better protect Chanhassen's lesser used lakes.
We will be looking for a volunteer force to fill in the early morning hours on the days that the
DNR is going to be providing an inspector at Lotus, since they will not be arriving until 7:00 or
7:30. If you become aware of anyone who might want an early morning job, maybe a life guard
or other summer intern who would like to work on Wednesday through Saturday morning, we'd
appreciate your sharing their contact information with us. Also, if you speak with the DNR
intern who is going to be working at the ramp, and get clarification about their actual starting
time, we would appreciate knowing that time.
Thanks again Todd for all of your work to protect Chanhassen's lakes.
Kind Regards,
Laurie Susla
President, LLCA
