Park. Board Meeting Page 3 Gunderman asked if the Village had to provide a public access for motorized boat traffic on Long Lake. It was explained that the Village is not obligated to provide a public access and if it did so wish ta, it was not obligated to provide a boat launch. Should it wish to provide a boat launch, it would be possible through the State Department of Conservation to regulate the type of boat traffic around on the lake. Gunderman suggested that the Board consider a policy of no motorized boats on the lake. Cook reminded the Board that residents living on the lake had paid dearly for the privilege of boating and that they did have an in- formal procedure for policing themselves to avoid the usual problems. The Board. considered a policy of prohi'oiting motorized boats from the park area while allowing resident motorized boating. It was agreed to discuss this issue further> The Board then approved the concept for the development of Long Lake as presented in the meeting of February 2, 7.972, vaith the except/e that theC~~r~P~`ss~be relocated closer to the road.
