being used. He stated that within two or three
years boats would have to be eliminated from the
Lake area and that the "Gatzert Plan" to create a
lake area for boaters seemed to be the most feasi-

would fall within the jurisdiction of the Wood-
bridge Irrigation District and the County, but
the Council would like to see some such Dian
developed for the boaters and would lend its moral
support. Mr. DeBenedetti then gave a resume of
the proposed Lake Park Master Plan. No protests,
written or oral, were received. On motion of
Councilman Culbertson, Katzakian second, the Coun-
cil unanimously adopted the Master Plan for Lodi
