Advisory committee limits Lake St. Helen fixes to $50,000; engineers recommend flop and crane-operated gates
Summary
Roscommon County officials said the Lake St. Helen advisory committee does not want to exceed $50,000 for fixes; engineers recommended a center flop gate plus two gates serviced by crane for high-water events.
At the Roscommon County special meeting May 13, commissioners reported that the Lake St. Helen advisory committee has set a spending preference of no more than $50,000 for control-structure work. County officials said water levels are coming down and that preliminary engineering conversations considered a center "flop" gate and two gates that would be lowered or raised by crane when lake levels are high.
No formal procurement or contract award took place at the meeting; the advisory committee's $50,000 limit will guide next steps as staff and consultants refine designs and cost estimates. Commissioners did not specify whether the $50,000 cap includes permitting, crane rental, or ongoing maintenance costs.
