Commissioners discussed repeated illegal tire dumping at a property referenced in the meeting as the "160 house." Residents and staff have reported multiple loads of tires arriving at the location, and the commission reviewed enforcement options.

One commissioner said the county had received complaints and observed that two loads of tires had been brought to the property since county crews last hauled material away. The commissioner asked whether the property owner holds title; staff said they believed the property owner does hold the parcel.

County legal staff and commissioners discussed remedies. County counsel has pursued nuisance authority under existing local statute; that process permits the county to clean up and, under statute, place the cost on the property tax roll, but commissioners noted the tax‑assessment route can take up to four years to recoup costs. Commissioners also discussed criminal enforcement for illegal dumping: deputies can issue citations where there is evidence the act is illegal dumping on another’s property, and county staff said sheriff’s investigators can pursue tickets when circumstances allow.

The commission discussed the practicality of repeatedly removing tires by county crews versus pursuing legal remedies. Several commissioners said if dumping continues after cleanup, they expect a repeated problem and emphasized the need to identify and hold the responsible parties accountable. County staff said they will continue to investigate, coordinate with the sheriff’s office, and pursue the nuisance/tax avenue as appropriate.
