access the general public has to this lake, this has to be considered. Ms. Williams shared <br />that if a part of the water bodies are not located in the City, we will need to get <br />permission from the County to have permission to maintain. She explained that they <br />are also other lakes that are currently not managed by the City even though they have <br />more than 50% of their lots or 50% linear footage within the City. Mr. Gonzalez was <br />concerned about too much access to Lake Katherine, which is private property. He also <br />mentioned the flooding issues that some homeowners experience when there is <br />overflowing of up and down stream activity. Ms. Williams shared that as a part of the <br />Master Plan, a consultant is monitoring the up and down stream activity of Lake <br />Katherine to better understand the flooding issues that some of the home owners have <br />experienced. Mr. Blais had a concern regarding active boat ramps that were closed. Ms. <br />Williams explained that there were some historic issues regarding motorized access that <br />necessitated closure to all vessels except for passive recreation. Mr. Lasure discussed <br />the increase 50% to affect 2% of the access that is a decision the City would need to <br />make it in the budget. <br />Recommendation: Mr. Lasure made a motion to open motorized vessels with a fee to <br />Triplet Lake to build revenue and to include all lakes in the City that are a minimum of <br />50% of the linear shoreline or 50% of the number of lots within the City for aquatic <br />plant management. Motion was made and the vote was as follows: Mr. Blais; Aye, Mr. <br />Gonzalez; Aye, Mr. Lasure; Aye, Mr. McDonald; Aye, Mr. Taylor; Nay. Motion carried. A <br />motion was made to maintain the status quo, by Mr. Taylor, no seconds, it did not carry. <br />6. New Business <br />A. Aquatic Plant Management Update: Grassy Lake will have a full lake <br />fluridone treatment. Middle, Triplet and Lost Lakes have not had to have <br />any hydrilla control issues in two years, but are currently in need of <br />contact herbicide treatments. Lake Griffin, Concord, North Triplet, Middle <br />Triplet, and Secret Lakes will also be treated. <br />B. Educational Outreach: The annual Air Potato Raid was held this year on <br />Saturday January 21st. It was very successful. Potatoes were donated to <br />the Florida Department of agriculture and Consumer Services (FDAC) for <br />rearing of additional Air Potato Beetles. <br />C. Upcoming Events: The Community Development Department recently <br />established a "Lakes District" which characterizes the neighborhoods <br />around the City's core and majority of its surface waters. They will have a <br />clean-up event on March 25, 2017 which will encompass a walking tour of <br />the associated drainage basins to pick up garbage before it enters the <br />City's stormwater infrastructure. It will be a few hours and more <br />information will be distributed as the event approaches Earthfest is the <br />largest Earth Day event in Seminole County and it will be held Saturday <br />April 29, 2017. We are currently in need of volunteers. Students from <br />Rollins College assisted last year with a shoreline restoration project at <br />Lake Concord. They thoroughly enjoyed it. We are working with <br />Professors at Rollins College to make it a future lab requirement to assist <br />with shoreline projects. Next spring planning to coordinate another <br />3 <br />
