In addition to 42 verbal and two written warnings, staff issued 25 citations. The citations include three for expired/no registration (POA), three for expired/no registration at a dock or lift, four for excessive wake in a no-wake zone, four for failure to present a Boater ID, and 11 for “other” violations.
Patrol boats operated 247.9 hours on the main lake, 190.1 hours on the East Bay, and 6 hours on the north ski area.
