Regular City Council Meeting Minutes Monday, April 23, 2007 Page 17 Mr. Moy responded by opining that he'd never seen the jump used ei- ther; but further opined that the existence on the lake of the jump and slalom course only encouraged excessive boat traffic. Councilmember Pust clarified that Mr. Moy's concerns were with wa- ter skiers, not the jump itself. Mr. Moy responded affirmatively. Catherine M. Vanous, 2924 W Owasso Boulevard Ms. Vanous, a resident since 1983, responded to a previous question about the current location of the ski jump and slalom course and whether there was any option for moving the course, for public infor- mation and awareness. Ms. Vanous noted that this had been discussed by the Lake Owasso Task Force approximately ten years ago, and it was determined that moving the course to the narrow (south) end of the lake would create a serious safety issue. Ms. Vanous questioned who regulated the hours of operation; opining that 7:00 a.m. as noted by the previous speaker was quite early for those living on the lake. Mayor Klausing asked staff to report back to the City Council after determining who regulated hours for operating on the lake in various capacities. Mayor Klausing referenced an e-mail, in support of the application, from Margaret F. Moismann, 393 S Owasso Boulevard. Mayor Klausing referenced an e-mail fromBenjaminA.Seim. 513 Heinel Drive, in opposition to the application. Joe Bester, 460 W Horseshoe Drive Mr. Bester, speaking on behalf of the Lake Owasso Safe Boating As- sociation, observed that the lake received extensive use, but was posted for use from sunrise to sunset; and while he didn't personally advocate those hours of operation, was unaware of any regulations stopping such use, whether a lakeshore resident, or accessing the lake via public access facilities.
