Report and Discussion
Attachment #1
Page 2 of 8
Background:
On March 7, 2012, staff distributed a memo to the Board regarding boat ramp maintenance that
had been occurring since December 2011 (Attachment #1). Together with regularly scheduled
maintenance, staff has been taking advantage of the lower lake levels in the area to accomplish
tasks only possible during these unique conditions.
At its May 8, 2012 meeting, the Board directed staff to bring back an agenda item to address the
low water levels and dry lakes, and to consider how to enhance the lakes while the water levels
are down, how to strengthen the lakes, and maintenance of lakes.
Analysis:
Since the March 7, 2012 memo, these additional maintenance activities have occurred.
