Local Police Visit Board Meeting: The board of directors were relieved that when two local officers from the Lake City Police Department showed up at the meeting, but no one was being arrested. Police Chief Cory Kubista and officer Tony Cox visited the board meeting to provide some information about the current problem with electric bikes around the community. The safety issues and possible ordinance and legislative actions were diuscussed. Overall, the officers wanted to just inform the members about the problem and the possible ways the department can address this issue. There was also a discussion about the Lions helping the Police with the Fishing with the Fuzz Event next year at the local Marina. There was a positive response from all the board members.
