DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Mayor Hanna and City Council
THRU: Charlie Venable, Public Works Director
FROM: Connie Edmonston, Parks & Recreation Sup nt0ndent
DATE: May 5, 1999
RE: Amendment to Code of Ordinance Section 97.070 - Recreational Activities at
Lake Fayetteville, Lake Sequoyah, and Lake Wilson
The Parks and Recreation Division requests approval of the amendment to the Code of Ordinance
Section 97. 070 creating the rules and regulations of Lake Fayetteville, Lake Sequoyah, and Lake
Wilson as attached. The last revision of the ordinance was made on February 19, 1991 when the
fees were increased. Park staff has worked with the Lake Sequoyah and Lake Fayetteville
Boatdock Operators to revise the ordinance. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
approved the revised ordinance at their May 3, 1999 meeting.
There were some changes in the ordinance wording, but the most significant revision was the
increase in boat stall rental fees as follows:
Current Fee Proposed Fee
Lake Fayetteville $ 180/year $200/year for Fayetteville residents
$260/year for nonresident
Lake Sequoyah $60/year $80/year
There are 96 boat stalls at Lake Sequoyah with 62 being currently rented. At Lake Fayetteville,
there are 58 boat stalls in which all are rented and there are 12 people on the waiting list for a
stall. The fee increase will assist the lakes in becoming more self-sufficient. Other revisions
include:
• Boat storage will not be permitted on the grounds due to lack of space and the higher
maintenance required.
• Arkansas Game and Fish regulations shall control the number and size of fish which may
be caught. The revised proposal adds: Any modifications to these regulations must be
approved by the Fayetteville Parks and Recreation Division. This will allow our boatdock
operators to better manage the fish population in our lakes as deemed necessary without
having an ordinance revised each time. Fish number and size will be posted.
• Added a revision stating "no water skiing or jet skiing is permitted on the lakes".
Enclosed is the current ordinance as well as the proposed ordinance for your consideration. If
you have any questions, please call me at 444-3473 .
