Drain commissioner seeks help for proposed Lake Township drain districts, raises Water Resources Department question
Summary
Drain Commissioner Chase Schepke told the board he will present to Lake Township on establishing two drain districts and that he needs additional assistance; he also raised whether the county should consider forming a Water Resources Department and how it would be funded.
At the Roscommon County Board meeting on Feb. 25, Drain Commissioner Chase Schepke said he will present to Lake Township about establishing two proposed drain districts — one on West Shore Drive and one behind Nottingham Bar — and requested additional county assistance to manage the projects. Schepke said some costs could be included in the drain districts but that he would not be able to manage both alone.
Schepke also raised a broader question about whether the county should consider creating a Water Resources Department and asked the board to consider how such a department would be funded. No funding decision or formal directive to create a new department was recorded in the meeting minutes; Schepke’s remarks were recorded as a new‑business informational item and may return for future action.
