1. Slow No-Wake Ordinance – final review and action.
Menomonie Township has passed repeal of their acceptance of Town of Tainters original
ordinance but have still need to provide acceptance of TLRDs proposed ordinance. Town Of
Tainter has asked us to provide language that they may approve. We talked about Jim Krave’s
opinion that we need town’s approval to pass ordinance. Bob moves to not accept this opinion
without further negotiation but fails to obtain a second.
a. Adoption of proposed GPS coordinates for Slow-No Wake ordinance.
Pete reports Pete Wessel’s opinion that we need standard condition report and that
we may base that almost entirely on Town of Tainter’s original condition report. He
says to go ahead and fix buoy positions and the we would need same permit
application process to materially change control zones. Bob mentions that we had
not gathered GPS coordinates to move buoys to center channel. Pete moves to
submit ordinance with exactly the same GPS coordinates as listed in original Tainter
ordinance. Motion passes.
