Good Points But I would add that the County needs to be more transparent and maybe take a page from the Corps of Engineers or the Bureau of Reclamation. Both of these agencies operate dams including small ones like Lake Manatee. Each year they put together Annual Operating Plans based on climate forecasts and involve the public in open meetings to discuss the Plan for the next year. This would help downstream and adjacent landowners to better understand dam operations and how they may be impacted. It helps everyone including the operator. It would also be a time to discuss surrounding developments and any potential impacts. No one who lives below the dam should be kept in the dark and waiting anxiously til the hurricane season to wonder what may happen.
