We have become aware of a desire by some on Secord Lake, without proper engagement with the Secord Lake Association, to establish a special assessment district apart from the Four Lakes Task Force or even try and purchase or lease the dam from Boyce Hydro.
We know this is a personal and economic hardship for everyone, and we are working hard on many fronts to determine the most effective path forward to restore our lakes and dams. Nearly every member of the volunteer FLTF board is a lake property owner and each of us has been personally impacted by the dam breach. We care as much as you do about our lakes and see ourselves as the best advocates for the future of our communities. In regards to the Special Assessment District, we will not pursue implementing the assessment at this time.
On Friday, May 3, 2019, Circuit Court Judge Stephen Carras heard testimony related to establishing the normal legal lake level for Sanford, Wixom, Secord and Smallwood lakes, and for establishing boundaries for the Special Assessment District (SAD) for the four lakes. The judge ruled to establish normal legal lake levels and supported the establishment of Special Assessment District boundaries pending the review of two parcels. We expect the final order to be signed in the coming days. We will provide updates as they become available.
