April 2020____ The
awesome, beautiful, reason most of all residents and visitors have come to the
mountain attraction, Big Bear Lake will NOT OPEN for the scheduled Spring 2020
Season! At the March 31, 2020 Big Bear Mutual Water District Operations Committee
meeting, marina owners, operators, business owners and the public anxiously
awaited the announcement of an opening date from the board of directors.
The
Board of Directors consists of: Bob Ludecke, Larry Cooke, John Eminger, and Tom
Bradford. Those also present were: John Osbone, Steve Pontell, Loren Hafen, John
Saunders, Jeff Cooper, Shane Fowler, Steve Fengler, Shelly Fengler,and Kathie
Portie, Big Bear Grizzly Editor.
MWD
General Manager, Mike Stephenson, called on Marina Owners one by one, to comment
and express their concerns about the Big Bear Lake Spring opening.
Everyone
was on the same page about postponing the opening of the ramp until May 1st
and at that meeting they would re‐evaluate at the April 16, 2020 Board meeting. It
is in the best interest of Big Bear Valley that the opening up be postponed because
of the COVID-19 Crisis orders and would keep within the best interests of those
orders. In the meantime, everyone present
agreed to would work within Governor Newsom’s guidelines to prepare for the future
date.
