Committee Member Nevois said that a couple of months back the council had approved for Superintendent Eckart to put riprap around the lake at the NCCC hole #3 cart path. There is an overflow pipe there which has separated and has holes in it, causing geysers to spray out every time it rains and there is an overflow. After discussion, Nevois will check the lease the city has with NCCC to see who is responsible.
