The lake committee discussed the issue of the docks that were compromised as a result of a recent storm. It was reported eight docks were damaged due to water levels rising above the top of the posts securing them. The lake committee will recommend to the POA to have all dock posts extend four feet above the top of the docks to avoid similar future damage. We will also recommend a process be implemented to close the lake to watercraft when abnormal rains occur. We thank all the boaters for their patience and understanding while the lake was closed to allow dock owners time to make necessary repairs.

 

A fish fry is being planned for November to help raise funds for lake related projects. The date and details will be released soon.

 

A fish restocking program is being planned and should be completed by late fall.

 

With the resolution to an insurance issue, lake patrol is planned to begin at the start of the 2009 boating season.

 

An "Open" general lake committee meeting is scheduled for October 14th beginning at 6pm at the Doubletree clubhouse. The one hour meeting is open to all Doubletree Lake Estates (east) residents.

 

In closing, I would like to thank Randy Minas and his Doubletree management team for supporting the fishing tournament held last Sunday. Doubletree provided snacks and refreshments to the children and their parents. Additionally, I want to acknowledge the good work of the committee members Annette Williamson, Ron Johnson, Josh Elder, Jim Feltzer and Bill Williams, who helped organize and oversee the special event. At times it was difficult to distinguish who was having more fun - the kids catching the fish or the committee members helping them. In all, 64 fish were reeled in. One topped out at 21-1/2 inches. Most importantly, the committee would like to thank the children for attending and their parents for bringing them. I encourage all to support future tournaments and activities planned and organized by your POA committees.
