Summary

Chair Darlene Sensor reported gates at Higgins Lake were closed June 5 and relayed an email from consultant James Tiffany recommending replacement of the structure rather than repairs; the board will be ready to discuss a decision at its July 8 meeting.

Chair Darlene Sensor told the board that gates at the Higgins Lake control structure were closed June 5 and that maintenance identified two boards needing replacement. Sensor read an email from consultant James Tiffany recommending full replacement of the structure rather than attempting repairs that might still prompt a denial from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).

The board took the update as informational and agreed to bring the topic back at the July 8 meeting so members would be ready to discuss a possible replacement. Chair Sensor also said she would circulate Tiffany's report and a summary to the board.
