Other Business: M. Smith shared some concerns and questions on the beach shuttle services.
Requesting additional signage around the boat launch area i.e., Free Parking for Beach Shuttle should
be in a designated area. Confusion as to what parking is free. Is it boat trailers pay and all other
parking is free? Clarification is needed. Also a sign at the entrance of Grand Truck should be posted.
M. Flermoen mentioned that the social district signs are being put in the wrong spot. Social District
ends at Lakeside Emporium and Dockside Donuts and the signs are down to Addison on the north side.
Also, sprinklers have not been turned on yet. The sprinklers on the bridge were installed in 2020 and
have never been turned on.
V. Adjourned at 9:26AM
