A staff member said Lake Pleasant now has two life jacket loaner stations stocked with sizes from infant to full-grown adult and asked visitors to return jackets to the rack so others can use them.
The staff member said the stations bear a label identifying the jackets as loaners and asked visitors to “please consider that descriptive term of loaner,” adding, “They are supposed to go back on the rack so that somebody else can use it and stay there at the lake.”
The staff member described the life jacket program as a “fix” for situations in which a visitor arrives on the water without a jacket. “1 of the best ways to manage risk is through 1 of these things here,” the staff member said, urging use of life jackets to reduce risk while on the lake.
There was no formal vote or agenda action recorded in the transcript. The remarks were informational: the staff member outlined availability of the loaner stations, the sizes offered and the expectation that loaner jackets be returned to the rack so they remain available to other visitors.
