Mayor raises Alcyon Lake dredging need; Glen Lake to be lowered in September for spillway repairs
Summary
Mayor Razze said Alcyon Lake requires dredging for the first time in 15+ years and suggested tying dredging to the Rowan West End Campus development; Administrator McCafferty said permits are in hand to lower Glen Lake in September to repair the spillway.
Mayor Razze told Council that Alcyon Lake needs sediment dredging; he said the lake has not been dredged for 15 years or more, that the permitting process is complicated and costly, and that dredging could take up to a year including permitting. He suggested that the upcoming Rowan West End Campus development could be required to address dredging as part of its approvals.
Administrator McCafferty said necessary permits had been secured to lower Glen Lake in September to allow repairs to the spillway. Council discussed the timing and complexity of dredging and permitting but did not vote on any dredging-specific action at the work session.
