Resident asks Lewis County for alternatives after county work briefly removed a fence
Summary
Charlotte Sullivan told the board county workers removed and temporarily reinstalled her fence near a county‑owned building and asked the board to find a safer solution for planned walkthroughs near her family home.
Charlotte Sullivan, a lifelong village resident who said she works at JEVS, addressed the board during the privilege of the floor about county activity adjacent to her home. "I came out yesterday and there was the county taking down my fence," Sullivan said; she added the workers promptly put it back up and that she had not been notified the county had purchased the nearby building or planned a walkthrough.
Sullivan described earlier efforts with village officials and neighbors to reduce loitering and drug activity on her street and said the presence of a county walkthrough near her property raised safety concerns for her family, who value the street as a place where children play. She asked the board to consider alternatives and offered to speak with officials after the meeting to find a better solution.
The chair thanked Sullivan for speaking; no formal action or vote was recorded in response to her remarks. Board members did not provide further details about the county's plans for the nearby building during the meeting.
