		The Bureau of Reclamation has reported that it earns only $375,000 a year from the Lake Berryessa concessions, but its operating budget for the lake is $3.8 million.
		Building trails and creating quiet zones on the lake, installing cabins and public campgrounds, would not only provide California residents with the type of outdoor experience they prefer, it would bring in more stable vacation visitors which the lack of public accomodations today does not now allow.
		The lack of trails, the few swimming areas, the ambiance of a private lake, the unappealing and expensive concession areas, the poorly-sited and crowded commercial campgrounds, and the noise of motor boats and jet skis, all combine to make this area unattractive for our members.

		Other recreation lakes generate sales tax and transient occupancy tax for local government, but instead of public accommodations that would generate revenue for Napa County, Lake Berryessa has 1300 private vacation sites which don't pay TOT and generate little sales tax.
		This is why Napa pays $700,000 more in enforcement and emergency services for Lake Berryessa than it earns in revenue from the Lake.
		And as the Lake only generates $375,000 a year for the federal government while the operating budget for the Lake is $3.8 million dollars, I am also tired of my federal tax dollars subsidizing the private enjoyment of this lake.
