Council hears about lake repairs and fish-stocking plan at Owens Property; house fate undecided
Summary
Mayor Gabe Brown said Kentucky Fish and Wildlife recently surveyed the Owens Property lake, found structural cracks in the spillway and headway that need repair, and proposed a two-to-three-year project to ready the lake for stocking. Council agreed to research whether to restore or demolish a house on the property.
Mayor Gabe Brown told the council that Kentucky Fish and Wildlife had recently "shocked" the Owens Property lake as part of a survey and that the agency identified a crack in the spillway and an issue with the headway that will require repair.
"They shocked the lake," Brown said, and Fish and Wildlife advised that preparing the lake for a stocking program would likely be a two-to-three-year project. He said Fish and Wildlife would like to stock the lake but that repairs are needed first.
The council also discussed the two options for a house on the Owens Property: restoring it or tearing it down. No decision was reached; Mayor Brown and council members said they would do further research and discussion before making a final determination.
The transcript does not record estimated repair costs, funding sources, or a formal motion regarding the house or the lake repairs.
