Purpose of the Public Involvement Process
This wastewater system project will have a direct impact on every single homeowner and
business owner within the Lake community. Each person impacted will want to have the
opportunity to give information and requests to the engineering team and S.I.D. Board.
So, the Board is working very closely with the JLET team to create and maintain a good
public involvement promise. There are two major requests that we have heard from Lake
residents:
- Keep us informed
- Give us good methods of communicating, with the S.I.D. Board, with the engineering
team and with each other.
The Board and the JLET team take these communication responsibilities very seriously.
Together, we have developed a statement that is our promise to the lake community.
Our Promise to Lake Residents and Businesses for How We Will Use Your Input:
We will keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge your concerns, and provide feedback
on how your issues and comments influenced the SID's decisions.
