Mr. Volk explained that the park roads are at the same elevation as West Shadow Lake Drive and were under water this spring too.

Mr. Smith said he had a meeting with the RCWD engineer regarding con- trolling the lake level. Mr. Schumacher indicated that RCWD is prepar- ing a study of the area to determine if anything can be done to con- trol the lake level. He will check to see what the status of this study is.
