The Four Lakes Task Force is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization managed and operated by lake residents and industry experts. It serves as a "Delegated Authority" for Midland and Gladwin counties to administer and oversee the maintenance and operations of the four dams and lakes, so the lake communities can enjoy the water long into the future.
OUR GOALS
The Four Lakes Task Force is engaged with public officials, and has three main goals.
|
|
Ensure lake levels are sustainable for the community for future generations.
|
|
|
Repair dams to ensure safe operations and maintain compliance with state safety and federal requirements.
|
|
|
Transfer ownership and management of the dams to the counties and their delegated authority.
|
Who we are
The Task Force works on behalf of the counties in accordance with Part 307 Inland Lake Level of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451.
|
Board of Directors
In collaboration with Midland and Gladwin counties, a group of volunteers came together to form FLTF. The current volunteer board of directors is made of nominated representatives from each lake association and two commissioners, one from Gladwin and Midland County. The Lake Associations will nominate and approve future members. Lake association members serve up to two, 3-year terms. County commissioners serve at the county's desire.
