Agendalopics [ gents =fit Discussion: The pond levels readings for June were just above and below 55.5 feet above sea level, with 8.25 and 8.5 inches of water going over the hoards. Rocksthrown in by vandals and sand are building u between the iettis. Usually DPW cleans out this area each spring. Don Myers will check to see if there are plans to clean out this area. Barbara Nichols visited Leisure Services and requested that the ramp attendants hard out pamphlets on not feeding the waterfowl. Gus Frederick was agreeable. Several questions came up regarding tubing rules on the pond, and whether there.was any required distance for bass fisherman to stay away from dols and swim areas. It appears that the Harbormaster boat has reduced hours on the pond from last year. Barbara Nichols will cheek with ferry Ellis to get answers to these questions and invite him to a.meeting. Conclusions: The pond l ve] Temai s fairly constant, but over a foot of sand needs to be removed from the dam area. Barbara will phone Perry Ellis; and invite him to a meeting.
