Wakesurfing Recommendations, Notifications, Communicator Article Hausman asked the members if they had any feedback or changes on the Communicator article he will be submitting and there was none. Hausman said he will turn in the article on May 14th. Hausman mentioned pending lawsuits from banning wakesurfing that are happening in other municipalities. Hausman said they can talk more at future meetings about putting their recommendations in an ordinance, but there are risks from banning wakesurfing. C. Erosion / Storm Runoff from East Side of Nagawicka Lake Hausman reported that Tom Hafner, City Administrator/Director of Public Works, was working to obtain three easements along Lakewood Court but one of the homeowners is not interested. Hausman said he will contact Hafner to see about other options. D. Aerators Hausman said he is hesitant to legislate aerators and asked the members how far they want to take the issue. Hausman suggested the members should look at ordinances to see what makes sense moving forward. Hausman suggested composing a stock letter from the Lake Welfare Committee for residents that are not compliant with aerator use and the members agreed. 7. New Business Discussion and possible action on the following items: A. Nagawicka Lake Water Level and No-Wake Rules Hausman reported the lake meter was not working on the website during the last big rain event. The city will be contacting their telemetry contractor to troubleshoot the issue. The Village of Summit was in communication with the city regarding the dam during the last big rain event. The members discussed the lake level and how it affects the dam. Hausman said he will look into the history of the lake levels, and the committee can look more closely at the slow- no-wake-level of the lake. There was slow-no-wake for a couple of days on the lake, but no sign went up at the launch at Naga-Waukee, which is under county jurisdiction. Hausman will contact Tom Hafner on how to pursue this so there is signage in the future. 8. Requested Future Agenda Items Note: No discussion on requested items A. “Welcome to the Lake” Program B.
