RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the process of submitting requests for State of Minnesota Capital Bonding Funds
requires communities to provide a resolution from the governing body of the applicant; and
WHEREAS, the original dam was built in 1937 and no longer serves the original purpose; and
WHEREAS, the proposed modification would lessen the risk of dam failure and remove the
spillway drowning hazard; and
WHEREAS, the proposed modifications will connect the lake to downstream habitat, allowing
fish and other aquatic animals to freely move about the waterway; and
WHEREAS, modifying the dam will allow other uses such as canoeing and kayaking; and
WHEREAS, pedestrian bridge option can be installed with or without the dam modifications,
but dam modifications will allow trail improvements and embankments preparation for the
future installation of a pedestrian bridge.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Rochester hereby states its strong
support for the 2020 Capital Bonding request for Silver Lake Improvements as the City’s second
bonding priority for 2020.
