CONSIDER APPROVAL OF SPECIALIZED SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
CARVER COUNTY FOR WATERCRAFT INSPECTORS.
Todd Hoffman: Thank you Mayor Laufenburger and members of the City Council.
Mayor Laufenburger: Mr. Hoffman, thank you.
Todd Hoffman: You’re welcome. The last work session council discussed the proposed
approval of the specialized service agreement with Carver County for watercraft inspectors. As
the council is aware we’ve had watercraft inspectors in the city for the past few years and this
year we’re, I’m looking to take a different direction with providing that service through Carver
County. Not through either volunteers or Volt Temporary Services. So we’ll address the
questions that were brought up at the last work session and then we’ll also talk in some detail
rd
again on the program itself. Most recent background, again on March 23 the City Council
considered provisions of the proposed service agreement. The council directed staff to seek
additional financial contributions and they asked for clarification to provide regarding the
proposed combined county, city watercraft inspectors program. Following your work session on
th
April 7 the Carver County Board of Directors, Board of Commissioners did take up the
proposed agreement and they did approve it as presented. To go over the additional funding that
has been secured. $2,000 from the City of Chanhassen. Those are new dollars. $2,000 from
Carver County. Carver County has pledged an additional $2,000 and then the Riley-Purgatory-
Bluff Creek Watershed District another $2,000. So that’s $6,000 in additional funding which
would then be attributed directly to reducing the contribution from the Lotus Lake Conservation
Alliance so their contribution goes from approximately $18,000 down to approximately $12,000
for the coming season. Questions and answers. These are the questions that the council posed at
the last work session. Some of the answers get quite lengthy. I’m not going to go through them
all unless we want those answers read but I will focus on the first and the last. One of the
questions is the proposed agreement with Carver County. With the County fair to the City and
