taken tonight.
MOTION: Kroll moved; Walesch seconded to approve the consent agenda as presented. Items approved

VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
8. PUBLIC COMMENTS- Persons in attendance, subjects not on the agenda (limited to 5 minutes)
A resident asked and received confirmation that the variance was just approved on the Consent Agenda. He
noted that he and other residents were present with some information they felt could have provided access
without the need for a variance.
Hoelscher commented that staff did review the information submitted today, confirming that information was
included in the previous discussion and decision.
Mike Kroning, 5260 Meadville Street in Greenwood, stated that he supports the new placement of the white
buoys marking a no wake zone on Excelsior Bay last year. He stated that the bay still experiences wake and
noted the difference between water quality on a weekday and after the weekend. He asked if there was any
way to increase the no wake zone further, even by ten yards, as that would continue to provide benefit. He
commented on the changing depth of the lake, noting that the window for boating continues to shrink. He
asked if there could be any consideration to declare low water.
Hoelscher stated that the LMCD does have a policy which allows the organization to declare low water at a
certain depth. She stated that although they cannot declare low water right now, they do monitor the depth
daily. She stated that the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District posts water levels daily.
9. PUBLIC HEARING
No items scheduled.
10. OTHER BUSINESS
A) AIS Communication – Jabbour
Hoelscher stated that the AIS communication was provided in the packet and members can contact Jabbour
with any questions.
B) Harrison Bay Association – Carp Management Strategy
Bart Halling, 5513 Sherwood Drive in Mound, thanked the Board for the partnership in their initiative which
began almost two years ago in attempting to improve the lake and water quality. He highlighted some of the
Lake Minnetonka Conservation District
Regular Board Meeting
March 13, 2024 Page 3
different initiatives they have implemented, noting that tonight he would focus on carp. He stated that they
have a great opportunity to partner with the U of M and Carp Solutions, reviewing the goals. He noted that by
reducing the number of carp they can increase the native plant life in the bay and improve water quality. He
reviewed the information they have learned thus far through the different studies they have completed and
the options they have looked into to manage the carp populations. He stated that one option would be to
partner with a local bowfishing group to host bowfishing tournaments. He referenced the LMCD limitation on
when carp can be harvested and presented draft language to be considered to amend the bowfishing
ordinance to allow the bowfishing community to come in and test whether that could be a successful way to
harvest carp. He noted that this option for carp management would also have no cost and provided additional
reasoning on why this option would provide benefit.
Hoelscher stated that she thought that this was going to be an update on what occurred last year under the
special permit. She stated that she would like to keep this item brief and the Board can discuss whether an
action item should come forward on a future agenda.
Halling stated that they completed a poll last year with over 195 responses on the bay related to bowfishing.
He reviewed the results noting extremely high support for bowfishing and the proposed ordinance changes.
Hoelscher thanked the resident for the presentation and noted that the Board will discuss whether this should
be on a future agenda. She stated that she would reach out to the resident to ensure that he could be
involved.
11. OLD BUSINESS
A) 2024 LMCIT Coverage and Liability Form
Brimeyer stated that formal Board approval is needed to solidify that the LMCD does not waive the monetary
limits on municipal tort liability.
MOTION: Zorn moved; Stone seconded to not waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability
established by Minnesota Statutes, Section 466.04.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
13. NEW BUSINESS
A) Dr. Fursman Board Survey
Brimeyer stated that the results were presented to the Board in the packet and discussed in the Officer’s
workgroup the previous week. He highlighted things the Board identified that were done well and items that
require additional attention. He believed that there was positive input received and did not believe an
additional planning session would be needed.

Hoelscher thanked everyone that participated in the survey.
B) Appoint Budget Workgroup
Hoelscher stated that a Budget Workgroup must be established as they near the budget preparation process. She
recognized that Stone and Anderson would be a part of that and welcomed other members that may be interested in
reaching out to staff. She noted that it appears the workgroup would start on April 3
rd
.
C) Proposed Budget Calendar
Hoelscher noted the proposed budget calendar which was included in the Board packet.
13. TREASURER REPORT
A) February Balance Sheet
B) February General and STL Income Expense Reports
Stone had no additional comments.
14. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR UPDATE
A) Low Water Update
Brimeyer stated that water levels continue to be monitored and if the levels drop, they will bring that back to
the Board to determine if there should be a low water declaration. He wondered if there would be a quorum
present for the March 27
th
meeting as that week aligns with spring break.
Hoelscher confirmed that there would be a quorum present. She stated that if there is not a robust agenda,
that meeting could be canceled.
Brimeyer provided a brief update on items not included in his report. First, he mentioned a meeting he had
with the Westonka Historical Society about the Minnehaha Steamboat and potentially launching it at a new
location, Minnetonka Regional Park. He also mentioned that Three Rivers Park District has set up a meeting
with LMCD staff, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Minnesota DNR, and Westonka Historical Society to
discuss the new launch site and promised to keep the Board updated on the outcome. Second, with the news
of the ice out being declared Brimeyer mentioned he contacted Tony Brough at Hennepin County about the
schedule for putting in buoys and was told the County puts them in 24 days after ice out. In addition, he also
answered Mr. Koning’s inquiry about buoy placement by stating that he can direct his inquiry to the Hennepin
County Water Patrol who decides where the buoys go on the lake. Third, he provided additional information
on the work Anderson and Tully have been doing related to solar lights.
Anderson stated that he has been boisterous about the issue of solar lights and provided details on the
concept as well as where he believes funding could come from within the budget. He stated that he would like
Lake Minnetonka Conservation District
Regular Board Meeting
March 13, 2024 Page 5
to get this approved tonight so they can begin to work on this. He provided a short demonstration of an
aluminum fitting of his design that would accelerate the process of attaching solar lights to the buoys.
Stone asked the cost of the brackets.
Anderson replied that one hundred brackets would roughly cost a couple thousand dollars.
Hoelscher stated that she likes the idea and asked who would install the solar lights.
Anderson replied that perhaps Newell could assist with placing the lights on the brackets once received and
stated that he and Tully would work to install the lights or coordinate installation.
MOTION: Hoelscher moved; Stone seconded to approve the purchase of the solar light apparatus in an
amount not to exceed $5,000.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
B) Submersible Pump/Stray Voltage/Electrocution Risks Presentation Lethart – 03/27/2024
Noted.
C) MCWD Update – Wisker – 03/27/2024

D) Recognition
Hoelscher recognized Walesch for his service to the LMCD Board from 2018 through today. She noted that
this will be his last meeting, although he will continue to work with the Board on certain items. The Board
echoed the appreciation to Walesch for his service.
15. ADJOURNMENT

Item 7B Attachment
Date
Dear [xxxx]
As you may recall, the LMCD recently formed a workgroup to study current watercraft for hire
and rental watercraft code and to make recommendations to the LMCD Board. The LMCD
Board recently passed updated code regulating watercraft for hire operators (cruise boats). The
workgroup is now considering proposing significant changes to the LMCD rental watercraft
ordinance to address recent and ongoing incidents on Lake Minnetonka (the “Lake”) relating to
rental watercraft (pontoons, boats and jet skis). Please see the attached letter from Hennepin
County Sheriff Water Patrol. The LMCD requests your feedback and comments on the attached
proposed draft ordinance and other matters as outlined herein.
Draft Code
Attached please find proposed rental watercraft draft code that will be presented to the LMCD
Board in the future (possibly with revisions, additions or recissions). This draft code is more
restrictive and certainly more robust than the current LMCD rental watercraft code.
One consideration the LMCD would like feedback on is the current version of the draft code
contains a provision that requires any person or company renting watercraft on the Lake that
launches the rental watercraft from a public access get written permission from the city where
the public access is located, similar to a port of call permission cities grant the cruise boats.
Considerations and Feedback
The LMCD is interested in getting your feedback on the following:
• Are you experiencing issues with parking, traffic, or negative conduct relating to rental
watercraft operators in your city?
• Do you currently have any ordinances or rules regulating rental watercraft or other
commercial activities at public launches you control?
• Rental watercraft operations may or may not be transpiring at public access in your city.
If the LMCD requires written permission from the city as a condition of the rental
watercraft license, are you inclined to give such permission?
• Do you feel you have the legal authority grant or not grant permission?
• Other comments or feedback?
The workgroup would like to present its recommendations to the LMCD Board as early as
possible in the 2024 boating season so any changes to the code could be applicable. The LMCD
requests your feedback prior to April 30, 2024. Please contact LMCD staff with questions. The
LMCD requests that feedback be given verbally or in writing to LMCD staff:

existing Section 6 sections that apply to a WFH can be changed to
also apply to rentals or we can add new sections.
Subd. 3. Renewals. A renewal license is required for each year of
operation and must be obtained by March 1
st

d. Launch Designation and Authority. At the time of application
for any rental license under this Chapter, the applicant shall
designate specific launch ramp or other facilities at which the
watercraft will be launched, and where passengers will be
embarked and disembarked. Licenses granted by the LMCD will
designate specific launch ramps and docks where the watercraft
will be launched and passengers will be embarked and
disembarked, and no rental watercraft shall be launched and no
passengers, except law enforcement personnel or employees, may
be embarked or disembarked except at authorized locations
designated by the LMCD rental watercraft license. An applicant
must get written permission from the entity that controls the
launch ramp or dock and submit such written permission with the
rental license application.

or offered for rent to any person who is under the influence of
alcoholic beverages or any other intoxicating substance.
