MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 1, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Ken Cammilleri, Administrator
RE: Subordination of Easement for CLFLWD for Bone Lake Water
Quality Project
The Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District (CLFLWD) is completing wetland
restoration on the northwestern corner of Bone Lake near the intersections of 138th Street N
and Melonie Trl N in the Bonneyview Subdivision. This project will remove accumulated
phosphorus-rich sediment from the northern portion of a wetland directly adjacent to Bone
Lake that had a history of receiving direct livestock manure runoff from the dairy farm
barnyard located on the same northern part of the wetland. This project is estimated to
reduce watershed phosphorus loads to Bone Lake by 15 lb/yr (or 30% of the remaining 50
lb/yr reduction needed for Bone Lake to achieve the District long-term goal of 30 ug/L).

In order to allow the Watershed to complete the valuable work, the City is requested to
approve this adjustment to its easement interest to allow CLFLWD to continue its
restoration work within the City’s easement. It is highly recommended that the City Council
approve the attached agreement.
