The Lauderdale Lakes Lake Management District on Jan. 24 approved expanding a planned community attitude and interest survey and approved several smaller expenditures and program investments aimed at outreach and operations.
The board had previously authorized a survey not to exceed $1,000; after receiving bids it voted to increase the allowed budget to $3,000. The survey—conducted in partnership with the Lauderdale Lakes Lake Improvement Association (LLIA)—will address wake-boat policies, options for increasing water patrol hours and costs, and a proposal to eliminate the 9 a.m. weekend no-wake guideline.
Board members also approved committing additional Lake District resources to boating-safety and environmental-impact education. The board reported it will add brochure placement to kiosks (a new kiosk at West Shore is already in place and a Sterlingworth kiosk is under consideration) and expand outreach via inspectors handing brochures to boaters at launches.
Facilities updates included a preliminary parking expansion estimate of about $115,000 (work by Jack McKay Andrews), an operational generator and radiant heat in the clubhouse, and organizational work on secure storage by Paulie Lopardo. The Christmas party raised $800 and the fundraising account was reported to have a surplus estimated between $125,000 and $140,000; the board plans to decide allocation of those funds at its April meeting.
The district bought and outfitted a snowplow and salter to an existing truck (cost $12,300), paid from the golf course operating account; board members said using Lake District employees for plowing will reduce snow-removal costs going forward.
The meeting closed with scheduling the next meeting for April 25 at 8 a.m. at the community center.
