Porta-potties at the Boat Landings. Deb will ask Kevin Klucas if we have
funds for Porta-potties at each boat landing. We would like to see two at

as they go in and out of the lake. In order to keep the line moving, we plan
to have two people do the spraying. Mark Koller volunteered to oversee
the landings. He will put together teams for each landing and keep them
stocked with bottles and bleach. He will need 8-10 people.
• Boat Landings- We are planning to start to clean up the landings early this
year, based on the warm weather. We will start with the Oakland (North)
Landing. It is in dire need of cleaning and repair. It is also seriously
shallow. We are trying to find out if the dam is going to let some water go,
as we were told on our Dam Tour last fall. That may be necessary in order
to use that landing.
