Council considers making non-resident kayak permit part of lake use fee ordinance
Summary
Minutes from May 5 show the council discussed amending HL-O-2025-01 to fold the non-resident kayak permit into the Lake Use Fee Ordinance rather than issuing a separate resolution each year. The minutes do not record a vote or final decision.
At its May 5, 2026, work session, the Town of Highland Lake council discussed an amendment to the Lake Use Fee Ordinance (HL-O-2025-01) to make the non-resident kayak permit part of the ordinance rather than requiring a separate resolution each year, according to the minutes.
The minutes summarize the proposal: instead of a separate annual resolution to set non-resident kayak permit terms, the permit would be handled as an amendment to the existing ordinance. The minutes do not include draft language, fee amounts, or a recorded motion or vote.
Why it matters: folding the permit into the ordinance could streamline administration and make permit terms or fees permanent until formally amended, rather than set annually by resolution.
The minutes provide no details on proposed fees, enforcement, or effective dates and do not indicate whether staff were directed to prepare draft ordinance language for a future meeting.
