At the March, 2007 meeting Melvin Noack and Susan Eschenburg, from the LCRA, gave a very informative presentation on Encroachment. Encroachment is defined as the unauthorized use of public land, such as when a property owner’s lakefront lot does not legally extend to the 1020 line and that property is used by the property owner. They described the process whereby an owner can purchase the property from the LCRA. That process can take as long as two years.

At the February, 2007 meeting plans for the March 31st Casino night fund raiser were discussed as well as the status of the 2007 restocking effort and lake access improvement plans. Members were also asked to provide ideas for future programs. Several were suggested.

In January 2007, the problem of Salt Cedar and its eradication was discussed by Rusty Ray and Ted Reiley of the LCRA. Voting for three Directors also took place. Voted in were: Alan Jankowski, Jerry Moore and Clancy Terrill.
