Public commenter raises water/sewer concerns and criticizes county spending

A public commenter asked the board for more written reports to be part of the minutes and raised concerns about water and sewer capacity in towns, saying "Water and sewer is a big problem. The towns don't seem to wanna grapple it, touch that." They urged clearer comparisons when officials cite median‑income gains and asked for better county presence at regional fairs and events to promote county services.

The commenter also pressed the board on a county lease and questioned timing and stewardship, saying, "This is poor stewardship of our tax dollars," and offered a spreadsheet to the board. The comment concluded by noting an emergency meeting will follow and asking how long the county keeps older assets before replacing them. The board thanked the speaker but did not take immediate action during the meeting.
