Email Regarding Slow/No Wake Orders

Last Wednesday, and again this afternoon, I talked to Pat Hagan at Fin's. Pat, John Kinnett, and maybe one or two others are planning to show up for Public Participation at tomorrow evening's Fulton Town Board meeting, and ask to have Slow No Wake lifted this Friday

July 4th weekernd was a bummer, and the Newville economy will suffer every weekend that the SNW remains in effect. Jefferson County has taken their SNW off; Rock Aqua Jays got a special dispensation.

Why is Milton and Fulton still holding out for the river to drop to 777 feet? The river already is below the Action Stage; it's already lower than it was when the SNW was put on; and by Friday noon, will be within a foot of the target high water mark (776.8?).

The RKLD has communicated with the town boards and with the sheriff's office directly regarding their process for placing and removing the Slow/No Wake orders on the river.

They don't seem to understand the behavior of the lake, river and Dam - and they are wildly inconsistent.

We will explore more ways to "help" the county and local towns make more sense of their duty.
