INT is a non-profit company that promotes organized water-skiing, wake-boarding, and knee- boarding. The company started eight years ago and currently has support in many states. If approved by the Park and Recreation Commission, the water-skiing tournament would be held on Saturday, June 1 from 8:00 am. to 3:30 p.m. The wake and knee-boarding tournament is planned for Sunday, June 2 frotn 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The slalom course would be set up 40-50 yards south of the sandy beach area, just west of the public access. If INT would like to hold their tournament headquarters in the picnic pavilion at Lake Susan, there would be a reservation fee of $250 per day. This fee is consistent with previous years. In previous years, INT tournament organizers, lake residents, and the Park & Recreation Commission established conditions to help the tournament run efficiently. These same conditions will apply to this year's tournament and are listed below: 1. Tournament guides will be sent to all lakeshore residents of Lake Susan informing them of the tournament. 2. A zero tolerance policy on inappropriate behavior will be in place and any competitor not following the policy will be asked to leave. 3. A meeting with all volunteers and competitors will take place to explain the zero tolerance policy. 4. There will be a volunteer monitoring the boat access to ensure that it remains open to all boaters. 5. INT has invited the residents to bring any concerns to their attention during the tournament to be corrected immediately. All lakeshore property owners have been notified of INT's request. Ms. Mueller has again been very cooperative in answering questions regarding the tournament and she or another representative will be attending the meeting to answer any questions. The five previous tournaments were very well organized and moving the date earlier in the summer proved to be the right decision again last year. The Cit~ of Ct,anh,~,en.
