Thanks Barbara.
I read your report and, as usual, found it to be very informative . The information from
the dredging company was very interesting, though it is like the old saw about asking a
surgeon for medical advice . The information on sedimentation rates, while I coul d
follow how you made your calculations, is based on so few correlative points o f
measurement (which you carefully alluded to) as to be only suggestive of how muc h
material is being captured by the Lake on a yearly basis . That's one area, along wit h
flow rates, that needs to be monitored more methodically to make any plans for lake
maintenance . Is any of that, particularly the flow rate meters, part of your work for th e
report to the regional water board ?
I will speak at the meeting tomorrow and ask the council to follow some of your advic e
from the previous meeting in December and for City sponsorship in creating a Lagun a
Lake Commission of volunteers . The group would take your ideas, and others that ma y
be around, and, rather than just study the issues, formulate and carry out a plan fo r
generating public interest and participation, identify grants and write proposals, and
create a focused plan of action . Then it would be up to that group to promote the pla n
with city residents prior to presenting it to the City Council . Part of my request to th e
Council will be for some portion of the $30,000 you mention in your report to be spent
for city staff liaison time and clerical supplies . It wasn't clear if that was some of wha t
you had in mind for it .
I've done this before with Human Relations projects . It's a royal pain, but sometimes i t
works out, like the SLO Americorps program . I'm like most folks, I'd like to be part o f
the group, but not lead the group .

Don

I know that the expense of dumping the material is a problem . Why don't you just dump in alon g
the shoreline? I don't think anyone would object to increasing the size of their lot a little . Half m y
lot has been eroded into the lake anyway, I wouldn't mind getting it back . I don't think that i t
would decrease the size of the lake significantly and anyway a slightly smaller nice lake is bette r
than a bigger crappy one.
Thanks ,
