Babcock could see <br />confusion with the normal reference of 929.4' for determining <br />property lines. Foster expressed his opinion that 929.4 is <br />unrealistic because that is a normal high water line and does not <br />reflect the actual lake level. <br />Grathwol moved, Hurr seconded, to table <br />j[*0f©x*ence point back to the Committee. <br />unanimously. . <br />Rascop asked about a contra<- . with MCWD for managing the <br />dam.
