[Ord. of 1-28-1972; Ord. of 9-10-1984]
The Town, acting in concert with such other towns having a portion
of Lake Candlewood within their territorial limits, hereby establishes
a lake authority to be known as the "Candlewood Lake Authority."
[Ord. of 10-24-1969; Ord. of 8-13-1990]
Such Authority shall be composed of three delegates from each
member town, for terms of three years. All such terms shall be commenced
upon the date when the first such delegate is appointed, except that
the initial appointments shall be for terms of one, two and three
years, respectively.
The Board of Selectmen of the Town of New Milford shall appoint
the delegates from New Milford, each of who must be resident electors.
Delegates shall serve without compensation; provided, however, that
delegates may receive reimbursement for administrative expenses incurred
in the performance of their duties, upon approval by a majority vote
of the Candlewood Lake Authority.
[Ord. of 1-28-1972; Ord. of 9-10-1984]
The Candlewood Lake Authority shall possess and may exercise
all powers granted by the Connecticut General Statutes for lake authorities,
including, without limitation, powers relating to the enforcement
of boating laws on said lake and such other powers as, from time to
time, may be granted to said Authority by the legislative bodies of
all member towns and by the General Statutes.
[Ord. of 1-28-1972; Ord. of 9-10-1984]
The Lake Authority shall establish a water quality management
program, whose objective shall be to study the improvement and maintenance
of the water quality of Lake Candlewood and to make recommendations
for action to its member municipalities.
[Ord. of 1-28-1972; Ord. of 9-10-1984]
Each municipality shall pay to the Lake Authority, hereinafter
the "CLA," its respective share of expenses of the CLA. Shares shall
be established by an equal division of the budget among the member
municipalities. The annual budget of the CLA shall be established
by first averaging the appropriations of the three member municipalities,
whose CLA appropriations are closest to the municipal share proposed
by the CLA, to its member municipalities and then by multiplying said
appropriation by the number of member municipalities.
[Ord. of 1-28-1972, §§ 1-5; Ord. of 9-10-1984]
This section, as amended, shall not become effective until adopted
by all CLA member municipalities.
