. >> i am here in support of ortega recreation. building is an essential part of the lake. this is in desperate need of renovation. we need a high-quality fleet of boats and highly trained staff. the plan includes a minimum of 50 new boats for the lake with a commitment to get more to meet the demands if necessary. the staff is trained in cpr, first-aid, and other safety certifications and training. the new goal -- boats will need less maintenance. thank you again and i respectfully ask you for the staff recommendations to the family. >> i just want to say that i have not been to snow lake in years. i go by there once in awhile, i run by it. the taurus really like it. -- tourists really like it.
