^'E:. fcv- Lake Use Coounitbce November 25, 1991 Reese said he was at the first seb-cominittee meeting and in his judgment the cover letter is a watered down version of tliose discussions. He would like to see the concerns in Foster’s memorandum pre.sented in writing to the Water Patrol. Foster said he wants to be sure there are additional meetings with the Water Patrol to work through these additional concerns. It is his belief the user experience issue needs improvement. He did not intend a full discussion at this meeting. He is not comfortable with the draft cover letter and would prefer a letter asking for another meeting, listing the concerns. Peterson reviewed the draft cover letter commenting as follows: Paragraph 2, Page 2. Line 5. he requested ."for moving violations" be inserted after ^'.written warnin.'?". The Water Patrol is not staffed for the paper work inv<.>lv»=’d in the suggested follow up on all written warnings.
