Commissioner plans easement talks as Houghton Lake control structure work continues
Summary
At the June 10 special meeting, Commissioner Rex Wolfsen reported a land-swap with MDNR and said gates remain open at Houghton Lake because of high water; he will meet a property owner about an easement after noting the property "was not properly prepared" and potential encroachment by a new structure.
Commissioner Rex Wolfsen reported a working land swap with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and said gates at the Houghton Lake control structure remain open due to high water. Wolfsen told the board he plans to meet with a property owner to discuss a potential easement after noting the property "was not properly prepared," which could create problems if a new structure causes encroachment on private land.
The board recorded no immediate action beyond Wolfsen's planned meeting; the item remained an update rather than a formal directive. Public commenters later raised related concerns about Houghton Lake water levels and revenue impacts, but no vote or change in delegated authority was taken at the special meeting.
