Lake Hefner - Credit: Shannon CornmanAnnual rental notices typically are mailed by April 1 for the upcoming boat season, said Debbie Ragan, spokeswoman for Oklahoma City’s Department of Utilities. The decision to suspend or cancel the renewals will be made later this month.
If the rentals are suspended and later reinstated, the rental fee would drop, depending on the amount of time left in the boating season. A slip rental is good from May 1, 2013, to April 30, 2014.
People who have rented boat slips in the past will be given first right of refusal on stalls they traditionally rent, Ragan said.
Lake Hefner’s water level is five feet below normal, which is 1,199 feet above sea level. Weather forecasts call for a 10 percent chance of rain Friday through Sunday.

Mary Fallon plays Governor like some of us might play Sim City, by ignoring watershortages, staring at the incoming revenues, and (pretending) she can cheeta-speed past the problem. You can ignore those needs in the game, but they do hinder development. So it goes without saying; she's not in favor of developing our city, so let's do something the Sims can't do; vote her out.
