How much money did they want to re-do the dock? Could you send it to him and make this stop?
For most of the US covered by the public land survey system established by the Northwest Ordinance of 1785, the surveyors set momuments at the corners of sections. When I was practicing law in Missouri, there was a requirement that for a survey to be admissible as evidence in court, it had to start at a government corner (monument). I believe the rule has been relaxed, but there are still standards for surveys that are used as evidence. Generally the surveyor's report that supports a mortgage loan does not meet these standards.sfwilshire said:I found your post very interesting as I've always wondered how in the heck the surveyors ever find a point to start from that they can be sure of.

JLB said:After years of telling us they will not get involved with disagreements on docks, abusive dockmasters, etc., including an email from them as recently as 11/1/05, saying, "Work it out amongst yourselves," the US Army Corps of Engineers Table Rock Office has given those who have taken over our community dock permission to rebuild it without the unanimous approval to all the slipowners. This is in direct violation of their own rules.
They said they did it because they are tired of messing with it.
Last April they ordered those who have taken over the dock to meet with us and work things out, and they never have. All they have done is harassed us, intimidated us, assaulted us and tried to force us to go along. No one ever even remotely said, "What will it take? Let's sit down and work it out."
They have met more than 50 times planning and plotting against us and have never informed us the results of their meetings.
By their action the Corps has awarded those who behaved badly and has sentenced us, our family and our guests to future hatred and abuse. Those who have taken over the dock can now pass whatever rules they want, including retaliation against us, putting liens on our slip and forbidding us from going on the dock, if they wish, and they will.
