BOARDSAILING AT LAKE FAYETTEVILLE II. Kurt Horner asked the Board for permission to boardsail at Lake Fayetteville. Clark reported that Horner was given permission before on a trial basis for one year. Jim Black said that from what he has seen, more sailers are in the water than on their boards. This is more dangerous this year because there are more lily pads and moss. Horner said that skilled sailers would not be in the water much. The main reason that they want to use the Lake is because Beaver Lake is too far away to drive after work in the winter. Sego suggested the Board discuss this and decide at the next meeting. Meanwhile, Horner and Black will discuss the issue between them. MOTION:RYAN/COLWELL The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 to prepare for the Gulley Park Public meeting.
