[Ord. of 10-24-1969; Ord. of 8-13-1990]
Pursuant to the powers granted by Section 151a of the Connecticut
General Statutes, as amended, the Lake Lillinonah Authority is hereby
established. Said Authority shall be comprised of the Town of New
Milford and such other towns having Lake Lillinonah within their territorial
limits as may adopt the provisions of said statute and shall exercise
all powers authorized under the statutes of this state for Lake Authorities.
[Ord. of 10-24-1969; Ord. of 8-13-1990]
Said Authority shall have the power to:
(a)
Act as agent for the member towns in cooperating with the Commissioner
of Environmental Protection in the enforcement of the boating laws
on such water.
(b)
Control and abate algae and aquatic weeds in cooperation with the
Commissioner of Environmental Protection.
(c)
Study water management, including, but not limited to, water depth
and circulation, and make recommendations for action to its member
towns.
(d)
Act as agent for member towns with respect to filing applications
for grants and reimbursements with the Department of Environmental
Protection and other state agencies in connection with state and federal
programs.
(e)
Act as agent for member towns with respect to receiving gifts for
any of its purposes.
[Ord. of 10-24-1969; Ord. of 8-13-1990]
Said Authority shall be composed of three delegates from each
member Town who shall serve for terms of three years. The terms of
each town's delegates shall be so staggered so that only one term
shall expire in any year. Delegates to the Lake Lillinonah Authority
heretofore appointed from the Town of New Milford shall continue to
serve for the balance of the terms for which they were appointed.
The delegates from New Milford, each of whom must be resident electors,
shall be appointed by the New Milford Town Council on recommendation
of the Mayor: one for a term of one year; one for a term of two years;
and one for a term of three years. All subsequent appointments shall
be for terms of three years.
[Ord. of 10-24-1969; Ord. of 8-13-1990]
(a)
Said Authority shall receive from each member town its prorated share
of the expenses of the Authority based upon the annual budget of the
Authority divided by 11. Roxbury shall pay 1/11 and each of the other
member towns shall pay 2/11, thus enabling the other five member towns
to pay an equal share and Roxbury paying 1/2 of an equal share.
(b)
The annual budget, prepared by the Authority, shall be submitted
to each of the member towns for approval. In the event that different
amounts are approved by the member towns, an average of the four highest
amounts approved shall be used to determine the final budget.
(c)
The annual budget will be accompanied by an independent auditor's
report of the past year's expenditures.
