Вопрос: Meeting to focus on lake water quality.

Rally with officials from the North Shore Wetlands Association in June and July.

"We believe that we have to do everything possible to keep this lake clean," says Mayor Richard Corrigan in his annual email to council members. The city plans to create a partnership with local contractors to do work on the lake's banks.

City staff have also launched an effort to install a 3-foot long, 80-gallon concrete wall along the shoreline along a stretch near Duxbury Lake and the eastern portion of Lake Winfield. Construction is expected to begin in September and is expected to complete this summer.

"The City continues to work through our contingency plan to keep the lake clean during its annual water quality monitoring cycle," wrote Michael J. McCool, director of the city's Department of Water Resources, in his email. "The City's environmental management office is currently focused on working with our contractors to install a wall along the shoreline."

McCool also said the department is working to monitor the lake's water quality for the summer and the city has started a website to communicate with residents about the lake's quality and progress.

"Lake Winfield has enjoyed its golden years," wrote Mayor Corrigan. "The City has been working diligently to safeguard its environment and water supply as we continue to recover from Hurricane Irene. We remain committed to this success."

But Corrigan also asked the residents of town for input on how to restore the lake to "a healthy, clear and sustainable condition for future generations."

"The concerns the community has with flooding and other threats to the public health in a city such as North Shore have been voiced by many in previous meetings. These concerns and discussions have become the reason we are asking residents to voice their opinions and concerns on how to best best restore Winfield Lake to what it was prior to Hurricane Irene," he wrote. "I want everyone in North Shore who might not have had that opportunity to have their voice heard."

Since Hurricane Irene, water quality in North Shore has declined significantly, and the lake is now less than half as clear as it was in January 2007.

In response, the city has worked on a comprehensive plan that would see an improvement in the lake's water quality between July 2015 and July 2016.

In 2015, the city estimated it was maintaining a 90 percent or more of the lake's water quality in that time period. By mid-2016, the city's estimate of that was down to 80 percent.

At the April meeting, Corrigan also shared that he was reviewing proposals to expand the water recycling program. That would include allowing businesses to recycle city-owned trash bags, and adding recycling units to two commercial area

Sunshine coast billionaire granted bail drugs property offences in NSW

Updated

A man named on bail for drug trafficking offences has been granted bail.

A Federal Court magistrate had granted bail for the Sunshine Coast tycoon William McManus, 61, earlier this month.

Mr McManus was jailed for 20 years in 2010 for dealing with narcotics.

His former partner Jillian Ridsdale was spared jail after pleading guilty to one count of using drugs while engaged in corrupt business dealings, and one count of trafficking cocaine, despite being a drug trafficker herself.

Ms Ridsdale, who is also a former partner of Mr McManus, is a former head of marketing at the drug company Zydeco which is registered in New South Wales.

The court found Ms Ridsdale, Ms McManus and Mr McManus guilty of engaging in a common crime and a more serious offence of trafficking drug that involves the taking of a drug.

A judge set bail conditions which included not taking any further part in the business.

The woman who made the application had not been charged by the time of her submission.

The judge set bail at $5 million and said it was up to the person to decide whether to apply for bail.

Mr McManus said he welcomed the order and called on the court to impose the conditions it had imposed.

"I'm delighted by it because I just want to take my kids to school again," he said.

"It's been years, it's been a lot of time, and people just don't know me.

"I just want them to know that my children and my wife are safe, their future are very much in my hands and I need to do everything I can to get them where I want them."
