Bill Jones discussed the idea of putting the lifts in the park during winter. He made a motion to allow the boat lifts to be stored in the park. Pete seconded. Trudy said it would be seven months not three months and it would be an eyesore. Don Rutkowski said it is very unsightly. The lifts are personal items and shouldn’t be kept in the park…Don Getzen begged to not have the lifts in the park. The overwhelming majority opposed this.
