Residents raise Apple Avenue property concerns; board schedules closed-session follow-up
Summary
At its May 19 meeting, the Winnebago County Board heard from two residents describing junk, sewer, well, drainage and fence problems at properties around Apple Avenue and agreed to revisit the matter in closed session next week.
The Winnebago County Board of Supervisors on May 19 heard that properties near Apple Avenue in the county's northeast corner have multiple health and nuisance concerns and scheduled the topic for closed-session discussion next week.
Residents Jolene Jackson and Anton Linnen told the board that issues at the parcels include accumulated junk, sewer and well problems, inadequate drainage and fencing that needs attention. The board recorded that the item will appear again on the agenda in closed session to allow further review.
The exchange came during routine business at the board's 9 a.m. meeting. Earlier in the session Supervisor Durby moved and Supervisor Smith seconded approval of the May 12 minutes and the May 19 agenda; the motion carried unanimously.
Board members did not record a public vote on any remedial measures at the May 19 meeting. The transcript indicates the board will discuss the Apple Avenue properties again in a closed session at a subsequent meeting; no specific enforcement steps or timelines were recorded in the public session.
The board's next scheduled meetings are an adjourned evening session on May 21 and a 9 a.m. meeting on May 26, 2026.
