lake at this time, and what facilities the City was going to install.
He urged that the City put the lake in operation for recreational use
and .not. just a place- for sight- seers.
Councilman Miller stated he did not believe that the City would be finan-
cially able to develop recreational facilities on the lake at this time.
Mayor Davidson stated he believed this was the time to develop thelake
and that a park.should be developed here as soon as possible for use of
the City fesidents and visitors to the community. He urged that the
City Council do something at this time as the lake is practially full and
people would be'desiring to use the lake this summer.

spectators at the lake outlet which is presently not fenced and is
extremely dangerous to people looking into the outlet. He stated he
was planning to extend the fence on his property:"and urged the City to -
do the same. - -
Mr. D:-F. Romero, City Engineer, reported that he would investigate.the
fencing problem at the outlet and would report his actions to the City
Council.
Mr. Skinner again asked what was the Council's feeling regarding opening
of the lake for recreation for this spring and summer.
Mayor Davidson stated he did not see how the lake could be opened until
an adequate patrol was provided, and he did not believe this -could be done
until the part was fully developed.
Councilman Graves stated he believed that access to the lake should be
allowed and when the present Dalidio lease expires, the City could then
begin)- .-planning for preparing the recreational development of the park.
After discussion, Mr. Romero; City Engineer, was asked to investigate the
amountoof fence that would be necessary to protect the cattle and how much
' gravel would be needed for a small launching ramp and how much grading
for the ramps and parking area would be required to make the lake avail-
able for use this summer. Mr. Romero was asked to bring this report back
to the City Council with his preliminary planning.
