Resident urges board to consider who would pay for lake erosion mitigation
Summary
A resident told trustees about concerns over potential lake erosion and asked whether the village or private property owners would pay for mitigation and enforcement, citing a past example in Saint Francis.
During the public comment period a resident raised concerns about lake erosion and asked who would bear the cost of mitigation or enforcement if shoreline erosion became severe. The resident referenced a prior situation in Saint Francis where erosion worsened after a single storm and emphasized that remediation can be expensive.
"Would it be the village? Would it be them?" the resident asked, urging the board to be aware of potential future costs and enforcement responsibilities. The Committee took the comment for the record and did not respond substantively during the meeting because of open-meeting rules that constrain responses during public comment.
