Residents raised cemetery safety, sinkhole and illegal-dumping concerns during public comment
Summary
During public comment, residents reported illegal dumping near Eric Hermans' property, asked who to contact if the clerk is unavailable (minutes list Margie Whitcomb as backup), and raised multiple cemetery maintenance issues including hornets, a sinkhole, tree trimming needs and a damaged headstone.
Multiple residents used the public-comment portion of the meeting to flag neighborhood maintenance problems and public-safety concerns.
A resident reported that someone dumped a truckload of tires in the corner of a field near Eric Hermans' house. In another exchange the minutes say a resident asked who to contact if the clerk were unavailable; the minutes state Margie Whitcomb would be the backup contact. Residents also raised cemetery concerns: the minutes note an issue with Mr. Miller’s headstone, a hornets' nest in a cemetery area that could pose a hazard, a developing sinkhole in the back drive near the first or second lot, and a request to trim trees at the M60 Cemetery.
Supervisor Toren Stanton addressed one question about a large hole at the end of a private drive by stating the drive is private and that responsibility falls to the residents. The minutes record these items as requests for follow-up; no formal board action, budget allocation, or contractor assignment is included in the record.
