At the Nov. 18, 2025 Martiny Township meeting, Horsehead Lake resident Terry Bakewell told the board that the dam at the south end of the lake was repaired by several lake residents under guidance from the County Drain Commissioner.
Bakewell prefaced his remarks by saying he had not been involved with the repair work. He characterized the work as a community effort conducted with guidance from the county official; the minutes record this as public comment and do not show any formal township action or direction in response.
The minutes do not specify the date of the repair, the scope of the work, who organized the effort, whether permits were sought, or whether the County Drain Commissioner took formal responsibility. The board did not record any further discussion or follow-up action during the meeting.
