Our neighborhood lake is available for use by residents and their guests only, but recently we have had a lot of other people fishing there, who often leave their trash to be picked up by others. The sheriff's department has been called three times since last Saturday to remove non-residents. The sheriff asked the Department of Natural Resources to help. They have jurisdiction over people illegally fishing where they have no right to fish. The board will be submitting a form giving the DNR permission to remove the illegal fishermen, first with a warning and then by arrest.
