RIVER WATERSHED DISTRICT WORK SESSION STANLEY’S RESTAURANT, KIMBALL July 23,
2003 CRWD Work Session was called to order at 6:00p.m. by
Chairperson John Tracy. Managers’ John Tracy, Marvin Brunsell, Virl Liebrenz,
and Roland Froyen were present. Manager Klein was absent. Administrator Merle
Anderson, George Anderson, and Susan Anderson were also in attendance. MOTION #WS03-07-01:
Motion Brunsell, seconded by Liebrenz to accept the Agenda, with the addition of
George and Susan Anderson, residents of Pleasant Lake. All Managers voted
aye. George Anderson, resident of Pleasant Lake, stated that the
current water level on Pleasant Lake is to the flow line of the culvert apron on
the lake side of State Highway #24. George indicated that if that apron was at
its proper level, the lake level would be lower and the bank erosion would be
reduced. He asked the District to open the outlet gate more and request MnDot to
lower the culvert this year. One question that George also wants answered is
“how do stormwater volumes from Annandale today compare with previous
years?” MOTION #WS03-07-02:
