OLD BUSINESS A. Project Update Mr. Albright updated the Lake Authority on a few projects. He showed the Authority before and after pictures of the Bath House, Newberry Park concession and restroom facility, the football parking lot, Cauble Park playground, Field 7 at the Acworth Sports Complex, and the dock repair project. Acworth Tourism repainted the Caboose and the Downtown Development Authority completed the silhouette lighting for the buildings downtown. The incandescent lighting was replaced with LED lights. Mr. Prather asked if we had the capability to adjust the brightness of the lights downtown? Mr. Albright said there is no way to turn the brightness up or down on the lights. Mr. Albright then showed the board a power-point that showed the assemblage of properties since 1998 that now make up the 120 acres at Logan Farm Park. B. Dock Repair Mr. Albright showed the members a before and after picture of the dock on Lake Acworth. He added that staff is working on repairing the steps leading down to the dock. Cc. ‘Trail Map Mr. Albright reported that there was little progress made on the trail map. D. South Shore Park Lease Mr. Albright updated the Authority on the status of the South Shore Park lease which ends in March. He reviewed the history of the property surrounding the lake. In 1966, the Lake Authority leased everything on the North and South Side of the lake, including the lake. In 1985, the Lake Authority relinquished its lease to the lake and the property on the South Side to the County. In 2004, the county subleased South Shore to the city. Mr. Arnold asked if the County still has the lease on the lake. Mr. Prather told him that they do. Mr. Albright also said that the city is trying starting conversations into the annexation of Proctor Landing in order to enter into a long term lease with the Corps on the property. Park operation would be easier from a public safety perspective if the park were in the city. Proctor Landing has been a good park for the city. The public may address the board on any matter during public comments. Individual’s comments will be limited to five minutes. 2|Page | f453bf3ad14b53530f18907fbccef6f504b1e28c89e24393244b32563db6b7fa |
