Summary

After inspecting a partition fence on Parcel #000441511200120, Supervisor Waugh reported erosion at an emergency spillway and recommended brush removal and construction of a structure to prevent further erosion. The board agreed to repair actions but declined to establish a new fence agreement with landowner Eugene Wenke.

A notice concerning a partition fence on Parcel #000441511200120 filed by Eugene Wenke prompted the board to recess and reconvene at 5:36 PM to hear an on-site assessment. Supervisor Waugh reported the fence is a five-barb wire fence with erosion occurring at the spillway and areas needing brush and tree removal and fence-height repairs.

The board reached consensus that the county engineer should send an excavator with a brush head to remove accessible brush along the fence line, plan removal of remaining trees and brush, and design a structure to prevent further erosion of the emergency spillway. County Supervisor Meek said he will contact the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office to discuss erosion-control options and what the County can contract for. The board decided not to establish a new fence agreement with Mr. Wenke at this time. The meeting adjourned at 6:07 PM.
