Houghton Lake
A. Delegated Authority Update – A meeting is set up with Prein & Newhof prior to permit application.
Keeping data logs on all three structures since beginning of May. An email was received from DNR;
they use Hyfi for measuring, and the numbers are off. The DNR sent a survey crew and
acknowledged they are not maintaining at the correct level. The DNR are using 88 datum, and the
county is using 29 datum. Another meeting is being set up. DNR has no intention of inserting any
stop logs at this time. Upon visiting the structure, safety is of high concern, and Commissioner
Wolfsen and Chair Sensor feel that public access should be eliminated. It poses a danger to the
public and the structure. Discussion occurred on how to enforce that. Consensus is no public access
during construction, and moving forward.
