trailered to the lake." Bowles asked if the LNMC anticipated the charge to be more, or less, than
$25.
Lancaster said less than $25. He said the marine commission did not want the lake to be too
heavily regulated, but some educational programs were needed. He said some areas in the United
States and Europe had restrictions on when people could and could not use lakes.
Chairman Tice advised that a decision would be made on the Lake Norman Marine
Commission's Boating Education Program at the April 4, 2000 meeting.
