Residents raise concerns about Strassenfest display and oil spread on CR 820 East
Summary
Two members of the public spoke during comment: Debra Utterback said she found a pregnancy‑stage display at Strassenfest inappropriate for a family festival, and Dave Schroeder complained about excessive oil spread on CR 820 East and said his insurance claim to GIE was denied.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, Debra Utterback spoke to express concern about a display she saw on the courthouse lawn during Strassenfest on Aug. 3, 2024, that represented stages of pregnancy. Utterback said she found the exhibit inappropriate for a family festival; the display was identified in the minutes as part of the Trotter House – Lifeline Family Center booth.
Separately, Dave Schroeder complained about excessive oil application on County Road 820 East. Schroeder said he filed a complaint with the county’s insurance provider, GIE, and that his claim was denied. The minutes record the complaints but do not show any board action or follow‑up directives beyond referral in other items (e.g., drainage matter referred to City of Huntingburg earlier for Hunter's Crossing).
