This is not a simple or cheap task to accomplish, but we recognize that it needs to be done. We are hoping to begin this process in FY 2018/2019 and finish it up during a drawdown proposed for 2020.

    To be determined at a later date. It will depend on how much funding we get for the projects we want to accomplish. If the dam/spillway renovation is funded, it might result in a full drawdown depending on how they plan the construction process.

    A request for proposals (RFP) for the stump cutting and boat trail marking contract, is being worked on now. We have ~$30,000 for phase one. We will see how far that gets us. My guess is that it won’t get us very far but at least we will have a better idea of how the process will work and how much money it will take to complete the project.

    After buying my fourth lower unit, I went to a jet foot for my 25HP johnson. That's all I'll be using from now on. If you boat will float over it you can drive over it.
