There are existing units already breaking these rules.....What about them?

When the PRV decided to rescind reservoir usage fees earlier this year, can anything they decree really be held as anything more than a suggestion?

PRV is a state agency that is totally beholden to the legislature. The Board of Directors is scared to do anything that might upset legislators. The administration is not going to do anything to get the Board upset with them. Under those circumstances, it is politically difficult, if not impossible, to govern effectively. And so they limp along with half measures that don't serve anyone. It's time for the legislature to give the Rez a sales tax diversion and hold them accountable for how they spend it. No more half measures.

There are a hundred boathouses and piers now that don't comply with these 'suggestions'. It's unclear as to whether these 'suggestions' would apply north of Highway 43. Some of the boathouses up that way resemble shacks on the side of a Palestinian hillside. It's also purposefully vague as to the definition of 'remodeled'. If somebody takes hammer and nails to one of the aforementioned shacks, just for the sake of keeping it standing upright, some would argue (Sigman for example) that meets the definition of remodel.

This is another failed experiment that won't get off the ground. And people are actually paid a salary to come up with this crap.

Dear 12:05 and 7:18,
Please reread the first sentence. This "policy" is for NEW construction and for REMODELING/RENOVATION of existing. Nowhere does it say anything about "improving existing structures to comply with blah blah blah".
I am a leaseholder with PRV. I am fed up with PRV. All I want to know is where in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks does all the lease money go? I mean, where does it really go?

Sincerely,
Fed UP

7:34,
Right into somebody's pocket. It sure isn't going into the lake, the roads, or the infrastructure. Been here 20 years, and have watched the original neighborhoods fall apart while pockets were lined and pipe dreams chased. Every year now, there's a new scheme to con money out of leaseholders to make up the losses from crappy management. Have you seen the "beach" they're failing to build at the Pelehatchie Shore landing? They're either complete morons or more crooked than the river.

7:34; Do you have access to a dictionary? Remodeling and renovating would also include repair of existing facilities to include putting enough nails in dilapidated structures to keep them standing above the water during a six mile per hour wind.

Renovate: To make sound again. Clean up. Replace broken parts. Repair, refresh, revive.

Do you really want John Sigman (and crew) ruling on what rules apply to you when you strap on that nail apron?

The district's attorney at Jones Walker retired after several decades representing the district. The new attorneys work at the AG's office and are specifically tasked to the district. What is taking place is they are reviewing everything and notifying the district, hence the new policies.

Chris Epps also had a Special Assistant Attorney General in Hood's office assigned to him. So, what's your point, Kingfish?

Hence 'what new policies'. There are no new policies; Only trial balloons and open periods for public input. No policies have resulted. The AG's office has an attorney assigned to work with EVERY state agency and department.

PRV is out of control with their fees and required permits already.

Boathouses are small potatoes compared to the big state tax giveaway to Renaissance 3.
