III. REQUEST FOR BOARD SAILING - Clark
Curt Horner, Mike Stephenson, and Anna Penix requested per-
mission from PRAB to Board Sail at Lake Fayetteville. In
the past, board sailing has not been allowed because there
is not swimming allowed in the Lake. Water quality of the
Lake has always been an unanswered question. The group re-
quested to Board Sail at Lake Fayetteville because of the
convenience of the location, and because of the good wind
at Lake Fayetteville.
The Board Sailers stated they are not dumped over into the
water more than sailboats are, and that lifesaving devices
are required.
PRAB discussed whether or not Board Sailers would interfere
with fishermen; however, good fishing times are not good
sailing times: Board sailers like to sail when the wind
is high and further, they would use the upper end of the'
Lake, only.
PRAB discussed that Board Sailers must use the Sailboat
Pier, and they would have to buy a boating permit to
use Lake Fayetteville.
MOTION: Yarbrough/Lucas
PRAB recommends that Board Sailers be allowed to utilize
Lake Fayetteville, in a specified area, until September,
1988, at which time PRAB will review the activity.
Motion passed unanimously. (5-0)

IV. ADULT CENTER - Clark

MOTION: York/Lucas

responsible to the Parks and Recreation Director.
Motion passed unanimously. (5-0)
