PA INDIAN LAKE — Indian Lake Borough Council approves 17,400 dollar drone survey, votes to adopt Code of Conduct resolution. Council deferred a proposed de-icer moratorium and rescinded a floodplain ordinance amendment pending legal review of undefined terms; however, the centerpiece of the February 11 meeting was two hours of public comment on proposed wake boat restrictions, with 20 residents opposing new regulations citing survey results favoring enforcement over new rules, while Mayor Jay McClatchey and Councilman Scott Moore defended the council's consideration of stronger regulations, stating wake surfing generates the most boating complaints to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and creates outsized impacts on other lake users. No vote on wake boat restrictions occurred; council stated a vote will be held next month.
