City To Raze Boat Docks No Immediate Plans To Rebuild

Fishermen pulled the few boats that remained from Lake Sequoyah last week, as requested by the city.
The aging, wooden docks won’t exist much longer.
The city plans to tear the four docks down in 2011, with no immediate plans to replace them. A boat ramp and courtesy dock for loading and unloading will take their place so fishing can continue, said Byron Humphry, Parks and Recreation maintenance superintendent.
In September, Parks and Recreation staff contacted everyone who rented boat stalls at Lake Sequoyah, asking if they would be willing to pay $250 each year to rent a stall to pay for new docks. The current rate is $100 annually.
Humphry said only 12 people expressed interest in paying .
