Lake, Buildings & Grounds Committee
Chet Phillips, Chairman
The first item on the agenda was the review by Ray McKinney of the
possibility of leasing eight additional lots along the dam area of the
lake. He stated that one of the lots has a garage built on it but no
lease for this area is in place. He requested the city attorney look
at this. Discussion followed on the possible lease amount for these
lots. Mayor Edwards stated he has concerns on the sewer, keeping the
people off the dam, and some will want to build roads to the lake,
which is very steep. Ray stated he will want specific rules on the
septic systems, a provision to not allow cutting of trees, and no
roads be built to the lake from these cots. Mayor Edwards pointed out
that the city went on record several years ago to not lease any
additional lots. Discussion. The consensus was to have Ray McKinney
look into the septic systems to make sure that the lake will not be
affected. Ray McKinney informed the Committee that several years
ago Crawford, Murphy & Tilly did a study for the possibility of
installing a sewer around the lake. He stated he would like to look
into the possibility of installing a lift station at the water plant,
which could be the start of a sewer system at the water plant.
Discussion. A motion was made by Chet Phillips and seconded by Chuck
Chapman recommending to the City Council to allow Ray to proceed into
checking further into the septic system for new lease lots. Voice
vote. Motion carried.
No further business was discussed and the Lake, Buildings and Grounds
Committee was adjourned.
