Beaches Q&A (from September 5, 2017 Community Forum)
- Q) Why has IVGID not addressed Ordinance 7?
A Ordinance 7 has not been amended since March, 1998 because the primary complaint is the increase in usage of the beach facilities and lack of adequate parking. Unfortunately, when the Ordinance has 32 different Family Tree members able to obtain a Picture Pass, an unlimited amount of Punch Cards which can be purchased, daily guest access tickets, white papers, and other means of access: why would anyone think that usage will go down? Ironically, we believe the $3 million proposed Incline Beach House will only increase usage. As IVGID adds more Beach facilities, services and activities does anyone expect Beach usage to go down?
The General Manager has established an Ordinance 7 Committee which includes Trustees Callicrate and Horan to study areas of Ordinance 7 to address. Stay tuned…
