CONFIRMED
Last nite a couple of Bridgewater channel updates were announced by the Police dept and Park & Recs.

LHCPD
1) The max boat length of 36' will be removed
2) Two new rest/storage buildings will be built for Police and Fire personel, with this also comes the strong possibility of external water lines for rinse off showers along the channel. The building at the southeast end ( near Rotary Park ) will have public restrooms. The other building is located near the Dog park restrooms.

Park & Recs
1) Another 800' of seawall will begin mid September. This will take it to the swimming area Island side south exit.
Changes include:
Pushing it back to the 451' mark to allow for more beach parking when the lake is up.
Three access openings to get up to the sidewalk.
The sandbar/wash run off at the southeast end of the channel will be cleaned up, but that may not happen until early next spring.

STATE PARKS
State Parks anounced Windsor is getting DOCK help,BUT he needs 34K to get a matching 100K grant.
Tim who manages Windsor knows the docks need help and is commited to replacing and extending them before next spring. He showed a proposal to the LHCMA, City and many residents and it was well received. The new docks would accomodate boats up to 40'. Also noted was a new breakwater wall to ease launching and retrieving and docks only at the Windsor 4 beach.
Tim is looking for private contributions to make it happen. If you would like more info he can be contacted at 928-855-2784

Last big TWO....
The Contact Point marina is moving forward! There's an impact study being done right now. This takes approx 8 months to complete. The concensus is construction could start as early as Fall next year, no exact date until next year.

Starting this fall The Chemehuevi Indian Tribe and LHCMA are placing trash bags on poles ( kinda like restroom towel dispensers) on many of the lakes beaches. There is a huge lake clean-up effort going on. The pictures of the last clean up are pretty disgusting! Pack it in PACK IT OUT.
That's all for now.
Todd

As far as the wall. They were to start it after Memorial Day and work though the summer. Contractor agreed to wait until after Labor day to start for the boaters. It was quite a mess last year for the first part. I'm hoping it will by done for D.S. I'm still wondering why the LEO's need more rest area building. Main HQ is only a couple of minutes away. :stupid

Way to close already.   Last trip out we were doing the 5 mph thru Thompson Bay. A boat and two PWC's heading out just gassed it. As I'm grabbing my camera, lights and sirens come on right behind me, 100 yds off my stern. I'm still wondering where they came from. I guess he might of been waiting them as there was no guestion and answer period. They were just told to get on his boat. Asked him if he might need my pic's. He just smiled and said not for this group. About 99% of the time, when your invited on their boat, your going to jail.

This update is from Throttle and PB also

AUGUST 20 MEETING SUMMARY

Special guests included:

- Vice Mayor Dennis Schilling
- Council candidates Dean Barlow, Don Callahan and Lee Barnes
- BLM-Kirk Koch

The Chancellor of Mohave Community College, Dr Michael Kearns, outlined the new AAS Degree program in Marine Technology, which will commence in one year. The first class will graduate in 2011.

Our Lake Clean up is scheduled for Wednesday September 3 at 7:00 AM at Windsor 4. The London Bridge Yacht Club will join in our effort to clean the Lake. We will do this on a monthly basis, usually the third Wednesday of every months at 7:00 AM at Windsor 4. We need boats and volunteers!







Also joining us in this effort is the Chemhuevi tribe. Charles Wood, the Chairman of the Tribal Council explained our partnership. The Tribe will share the cost of bags and bag dispensers on the California side. The Marine Assn will be responsible for the clean up.

Long time member Dan Herron has volunteered to be the Clean Up Coordinator, as this program will be large enough to require some organization. We hope to have 25 boats on September 3!

The consensus is that the Police approach to the Channel has resulted in very positive feedback from nearly all members. Chief Doyle explained their policies and noted only one arrest by the Patrol Boat this entire season. He also announced they would not enforce the 36’ maximum boat length ordinance- in fact that sign will come down. It will still apply to houseboats.

The City Police Department and the Marine Assn are jointly producing 5-6 30 second Public Service Announcements on water safety for cable TV. The first two on Jet Ski safety were aired at the meeting.

Former Executive Director Todd Headley has agreed to be the Safety Coordinator for the Marine Assm working with the agencies to promote safety on the Lake. Welcome back Todd!

Another special guest was Ms Dale Bailey, interim President of the CVB. She discussed the changes going on as they prepare for a permanent person within 60 days or so. Boating will be promoted and we expect to work closely in jointly improving our tourist business.



Back to the Channel, City Parks Department Head Bill Maccahey discussed the third sea wall plan and discussed weeds, rocks and other issues. The City is listening to our concerns and we have input on improvements there.

Windsor launch ramp presents a huge opportunity! Manager/Ranger Tim Kristof presented an opportunity for improvements. Fish and Game has the funds to place and add to the docks on the North ramp. If collectively, the City, State
Parks and Marine Assn can contribute $34,000, Fish and game will add a $100,000 grant. The result will be a larger, longer set of docks accommodating boats up to 36 feet and longer. In addition, a sea wall at the very end! More on this at next meeting.

They started construction of the sea wall last Monday. Project Mgr. said it would be finished in three months. Of course the very first thing they did was to cut down my favorite tree to park the boat under.

Of course. I thought trees/shade were a popular thing in Havazoo.

Ever notice that they have about a hundred park benchs lining both sides of the channel and not a single one is even close to shade. :stupid
