Desperate Times

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
Feb 6

demand desperate measures...that might be the summary of WLIC President Rick Neece presentation to the BOA last night in regards to keeping WL zebra mussel free.  Rick has been making the rounds of some of the clubs (Fishing Club Monday evening) to give an overview of what the WLIC Board has in store to keep WL pristine:  Some of the recommendations of the Stream Team include include (quotes from his presentation materials):

  • Seal the Lake for use by members only
  • All watercraft and anything that is absorbent (lifejackets, bait buckets, fishing gear, anchor lines) is designated for use at Weatherby Lake and cannot be used in any other body of water.
  • Heated power washing station 140 degrees for the following:
    • New watercraft registered for first time with Weatherby Lake
    • Post service/repair appointment if done by infested Lake (Smithville marina)
    • Staffed by volunteer, wears protective clothing, $20/Boat, limited hours each month
  • Phased approach to changing out locks to boat ramps and installing access gates at C Point and Venita
    • FOB gate for access, each family gets two cards
    • Combination locks initially then transition to new keys on boat ramps
    • Security cameras at FOB and boat ramp access
    • Education, testing and signing of form required before get FOB and boat ramp keys
  • Educate all 785 Weatherby Lake members (mike note, think they mean homes)
    • Phased approach to training
    • Test in person or on line
    • Signs posted at access areas
  • Change to rules and regulations for increased fines or damages whichever is greater, loss Lake privileges
  • Change to City ordinances for trespassing to match WLIC policies

I guess he did not mention that one of the stream team members has suggested that any boat entering or leaving the city limits should be stopped by the police....an exact quote during the club information meetings.

Oh, and she wants you to give up the unaccompanied access privileges for your direct family members that do not live on the lake...another direct quote.

Oh if only Perry Mason Jr had not moved away
He would have obstructed and blocked any and all efforts to protect our lake
