Resident urges Cloud Lake to send alligator-safety guidance as mating season approaches
Summary
Resident Pat Beall asked the Council to email residents tips on coexisting with alligators, noting kayakers may not see animals in lily pads; Clerk Dorothy Gravelin said she would email information to residents.
At the start of the public-comment portion, resident Pat Beall warned that alligator mating season is approaching and said alligators "are present in our lakes at various times" and may be hidden in lily pads, creating a hazard for people kayaking or canoeing. Beall asked the Town to circulate guidance to residents on coexisting safely with alligators.
Town Clerk Dorothy Gravelin agreed and noted, "The Clerk will email information" to residents with safety tips. The Council did not take any regulatory action at this meeting; staff will follow up on preparing and distributing educational material to the community.
