This wou�.d permit the level o£ the lake to be <br />dra�,rn down as soon as it reaches a level slightly abov� normal. <br />The r�su1� should be �hat the lake would tend to be at maximum <br />storage capaciiy most of the time. <br />Hopetull.y such taci].ities would tend to reduce the possibility <br />of damage claims agaznst Raseviile or Lauderdale. <br />Very truly yours, <br />_....__� , <br />__.... .. . <br />' � �i ���t�g t�;� t <br />C].ayton L: LeFevere \ <br />(Lauderdale City Attorney) � <br />CLL:jpf <br />
