Commissioners direct attorney review after decades-old verbal arrangement at Jane Neil's Park
Summary
After repeated vandalism and a reported DUI at Jane Neil's Park, the board asked county staff to confirm ownership of an on-site trailer and instructed the sheriff/maintenance staff to serve notice and consult the county attorney about removing the occupant if necessary.
Commissioners reviewed a letter from maintenance staff about recurring vandalism and a recent DUI at Jane Neil's Park and discussed an individual who has lived in a trailer on the park property under a long-ago verbal agreement.
Maintenance manager Joe said he could not confirm the trailer's ownership and reported he had not found a formal contract; commissioners directed Joe to contact the county attorney and, if appropriate, to deliver personal legal notice to the occupant, identified in the transcript as Mr. Black. "I'd proceed with verifying with the county attorney and a notice to Mr. Black either personal notice and ask him to leave and then go through the process after that if we have to," one commissioner said.
Commissioners also discussed alternatives including formally posting the position (if the occupant had previously been a steward) or creating a short license or contract if the county chose to permit the arrangement. The board asked staff to follow legal process and bring a recommendation back if needed.
