As some of you already know, the Leelanau County Commissioners decided this week to fund 100% of the Leland Dam’s future repair and maintenance costs from the County’s general fund.

We’d like to congratulate all of our Association members and supporters who contributed their voices and opinions in support of this outcome.

We’d also like to thank the Leland Dam Authority and the County Commissioners for the time and effort that they put in to reach this important decision.

Correction: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 11 at 9AM is the correct date and time for Leland dam public comment at next week’s County Commissioners’ Executive Board meeting

We apologize for the incorrect meeting date and time mentioned in our earlier message.

For those of you planning to attend and voice your opinion at next week’s Leelanau County Commissioners Executive Board meeting, at which the Leland Dam Authority’s recommendation that the County assume full responsibility for Leland dam improvements and repairs will be discussed, the correct date and time of the meeting is Tuesday, February 11 at 9am.

The County Commissioners’ meeting which was due to be held today at 9 AM was postponed until tomorrow, Wednesday November 13th, at the same time, in the Commissioners Meeting Room at the County Government Center, 8527 E Government Dr., Suttons Bay.

Come prepared to voice your opinion on who should pay for the dam repairs, if you can be there!

Dear Fellow Members of the Lake Leelanau Lake Association,

There was a strong turnout at the Dam Authority meeting last Friday, November 1st. Fifteen people expressed their views and 18 letters and emails were recorded. Most of the individuals who expressed a view said they would support an assessment which divided the repair and maintenance costs of the dam 50/50 between owners of lakeside property and the County.
