We are currently looking at changes at ULLB that will limit the amount of kiters to 13 and not allow us to kite on the weekends,these changes are being made by Utah County parks dept. and have beenrecommended By the camp host Kelly who is scared of the water so you can quess what he knows about kiting..... We have hit a dead end with Roger the supervisor for the Parks. He is convienced we need to be regulated based on the reports/lies from his drunk and threatning Camp Host. I hope any kiter that uses ULLB please writes to the Comminnioner and shares their thoughts about this amazing kite spot.
PLEASE express any issues you have had with the Camp, Host Kelly Joe Nostrom, as Chris and I have discovered even with 20 plus people calling to complain to his Boss Roger about Kelly's behavior, swearing, threats and course actions, and of course his drinking and dealing with us while under the influance Chris and I have been told we are lying by his Boss Roger and County Parks secretery Becky during several calls. We were asked to stop calling becuase Roger didn't want to deal with the issue, Many people left messages and numbers and never recieved a return call...
We can only hope that letters to the Larry Ellertson can convence him of what type of employee is working as the Camp Host. And making rules about kiting while trying to be malisious to us, with out any knowledge of kiting. It is almost like he is one of Rogers Family Memebers the way Roger defends this guy...
I am expecting a phone Call from Commissioner of, public works, Larry Ellertson on Monday Please write him before then so I can ask him to read the letters and use them while making his decision about ULLB and our need to sail from there.
I invite everyone to use this thread to share not only their thoughts about how little impact we have, how we are there in the evening after work, when no one else is there, while it is windy and the boaters have gone home, how you have been treated or witnessed the Campo Host drinking swearing pushing finger pokeing etc..To help brainsstorm for writing
When you write Larry please let him know if you have picked up nails,pallets couches if you fish, boat, paddle board, swim picinic sun bath etc. Tell him about the other places we kite were we have never had issues, state parks, National Forest, Lindon,Willard, Rush, Mona,Yuba,Sand Hollow (ULLB is a county parks and have no authotiry at any other parks to try and limit access there.). Tell him about yourself your age howloung you have been using UT lake etc
This is our last oppertunity to preserve ULLB the Commissioner make the call....Done deal, the Buck stops with him.
PLEASE LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN...
Please send your letters to Commissioner Larry Ellertson at larrye.ucadm@state.ut.us
Just a reminder the county runs the beach the state runs the water. Please do not bring up any issues and add fuel to the fire, we need to preserve access and would like you all send letters of complaint if you have some about the park host(very important, including if you spoke with Riger of left a message and never recieved a return call) and Letters opf praise for ULLB and how much you enjoy it and would it would mean to you if this launch was limited or lost..
THANKS
