Board discusses gate logs and interim lake management while hiring a lake manager
Summary
Commissioners reviewed updated gate logs and agreed maintenance staff can lower gates and install boards in the short term while the county advertises for a lake manager; members asked for documented email requests and conversion of datum references for manuals.
At the May 27 meeting, commissioners reviewed updated gate logs and discussed who should have interim authority to lower gates or install boards at county-controlled lake structures while a permanent lake manager is hired.
The chair asked whether maintenance staff could perform the interim tasks; an administrator's office representative confirmed maintenance could do the work but recommended an email follow-up for records. Commissioners asked that the Houghton Lake manual's datum be converted to NAVD 88 ('29 to '88) so that lake managers will have correct references; the board discussed timelines and the need to advertise for a lake manager position. The board agreed to continue the conversation at a lake-level meeting and to document delegated authority and processes.
