Police boats stored by Mathis Field Airport could be moving to the water if a new proposal goes through. The city council is considering building a Police Department Boat House at Lake Nasworthy. During the meeting, Tad Logan, pres of Lake Nasworthy Homeowners Assoc., said current response times are 20 minutes, and that having boats on the lake could get it down to only 5 minutes. Lt. Wes Bodden, with Lake Police said that from a public safety standpoint what we're doing right now doesn't make any sense. In cases of a drowning or crash, Bodden said, 20 minutes is not an acceptable response time. Police Chief Tim Vasquez said it’s really about public safety & being able to get those boats out there as quick as possible. The city council will now look into costs and funding for the project which could cost around $60-$70,000.
