RE: Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM)
Dear Mr. Gysan,
This letter is to inform you that the City of Okeechobee has hired the firm of MacVicar
Consulting to assist us with participation in the process to develop the Lake
Okeechobee System Operating Manual (LOSOM).
City elected officials or staff will remain involved in the process when we can, but we will
be using the technical support and water management expertise of MacVicar Consulting
to participate as members of the Project Delivery Team and Sub-Teams. Please allow
Tom MacVicar, Bill Baker, and Len Lindahl, all professional engineers with the MacVicar
firm, to represent the City in this effort.
We are looking forward to the completion of the repair of the Herbert Hoover Dike and
are very pleased that the Corps is working to have a new operating plan in place that
acknowledges the needs of the communities that surround the lake and depend on it for
their survival.
Since �ly,
y�/� `Z�
Dowling R. Watford
Mayor
