III. Gulley Park easement off of Township
MOTION: YARBROUGH/MELTON
PRAB recommends that the survey that cost $500
regarding an easement 40' on both sides of the
creek and purchase of the creek be paid for out of
the Gregory Trust Fund.
Motion passed unanimously. (7-0)
IV. Joe Collins; Purchase of City Property:
Mr Collins requested to purchase 3 acres of city
property adjacent to his property near Lake
Sequoyah. Mr. Collins had the land appraised at
$2,000/acre. The intent for the land is to be
used to build a parts store or a chicken house.
PRAB tabled this until the 1989 Spring Tour.
V. Lake Sequoyah Trot/Jug Line & Night Fishing:
Gordon Mhoon, spokesman, presented reason against
night fishing and trot/jug/limb lines at Lake
Sequoyah. The lake area is too small for this
type of fishing would deplete the lake's supply of
fish too fast to be replenished. City would loose
half its revenues over the next two years due to
the lake being over fished. Boat owners are
skeptical of night fishing and the security of
their equipment. PRAB agreed to check with the
City Attorney about legalities of "navigable
streams" and to keep James Woods, current Lake
Sequoyah Boat Dock Operator, informed of any
information and action taken on the matter.
