Discussion took place regarding the County water plan and the possibility that the Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) could better manage water conservation and work more closely with farmers because they are not an enforcement agency. This idea will be researched further. Pine Lakes Improvement District Bill Rose, representative from the Otter Tail River in the Pine Lakes Improvement District introduced several citizens who currently live along the Toad River; Randy Carrow, Ivan Thompson, and Mark Dombeck. Mr. Rose stated that he became involved when a group of citizens from the river expressed concern about representation on the Pine Lakes Improvement District. Mr. Rose is not in favor of having rivers included in the LID. He provided many handouts including a survey that identified 91 property owners along the rivers in the LID with most of those property owners saying that they were never contacted regarding establishment of the LID and the public hearing held July 15, 1999. Mr. Rose stated that his group's request is to alter the boundaries of the LID and release the river properties from inclusion in the district. Mr. Rose noted 0 the differences between lake property ownership vs. river property ownership and the fact that demographics do not lend towards equal representation of lake and river people. Commissioners suggested that this citizen group talk with the LID officials and try to find a workable solution for the Q matter. The County Attorney suggested that they follow-up with Representative Daggett regarding proposed legislation to allow "modifying" a LID, rather than "expand" a LID.
