Commissioners discuss Lake Gibson dredging and beaver-dam removal; staff to provide visuals
Summary
County staff outlined a proposed dredging effort at Lake Gibson to remove beaver dams and vegetation that are backing up water; the board asked for visual materials and asked whether drones could replace helicopters for surveying.
County special projects staff described plans to address drainage and beaver-dam blockages affecting areas that drain into Lake Gibson. The project would involve removing cattails and beaver dams; staff identified contractor Steve Jacobson as the person doing the work and discussed costs associated with helicopter flyovers to access the sites.
Commissioners requested more visual information and asked whether drone surveys could substitute for helicopter flights. Staff agreed to bring maps and images to the next meeting and to explore drone options for surveying and documentation prior to committing to helicopter use.
