Arcadia Lake master plan implementation
The commission was set to hear updates on lake projects including master plan projects, Deep Fork trash, trails, and marijuana enforcement, plus liaison reports.

People have been getting into the lake through entry points they aren't supposed to use.

The commission was scheduled to discuss how to address it.
