of the Boundary Water Canoe Area dispute. Mayor Kimble said that he was opposed to
mediation because it would involve all of the major players, such as Mn/DOT, Wis/DOT,

Kimble said it was highly unlikely that unanimous agreement could be reached and that
litigation would be a more effective means of resolving the issue. Discussion was then
