Property owner Eugene Wenke asked the board to establish defined access to his property, leave an existing fence in place, and set the weir elevation at 621.5 feet for Site 15 of the Indian Creek Watershed; the board tabled action pending NRCS and county engineer input.

Eugene Wenke of Mt. Sterling appeared before the board Oct. 14 to request three specific actions related to Site 15 of the Indian Creek Watershed, which adjoins his property in Section 11, T67N-R09W. Wenke asked for "a defined access into his property," that the board agree "to leave the fence between the properties where it is," and to "put the weir at 621.5 feet."
