Board moves to pursue renewing lease with state DNR for Griffin Bike Park boat ramp amid safety concerns
Summary
Staff asked the board to pursue renewing a lease with the state Department of Natural Resources for the public-access boat ramp at Griffin Bike Park so the state continues maintenance; staff also raised safety concerns after three trucks were reportedly lost in the lake and asked DNR to consider slope mitigation or markers.
Staff told the board that the county has an existing lease for the public-access boat ramp at Griffin Bike Park that had been held by the state Department of Natural Resources and recommended the board vote to pursue an extension so the state will continue to maintain the ramp and related facilities. "They're yet to send me the new agreement, but I wanted to get a board vote to extend the current agreement that we have," the staff member said.
Staff also raised safety concerns, saying the county has lost three trucks in the lake at that ramp and asked whether the state could lessen the slope or place a marker in the water near the edge to help drivers see the drop-off. The staff member said they would pursue those options with DNR; a motion to pursue re-upping the agreement was made in the meeting, but the excerpt does not include a formal recorded roll-call vote or a signed replacement agreement in the record.
