Acting trustees report fence repairs complete in Wenke v. Thorud dispute; county to assist with recording original Notice of Findings
Summary
Acting Vernon Township Trustees Waugh and House reported repairs to a disputed fence are complete (barbed wire added, trees removed) but the flood gap was secured rather than returned precisely to its original position; County Attorney Craig Miller said meeting minutes would serve as the report of findings and the County will assist Village Township with recording issues raised by its clerk.
During the meeting recess to Vernon Township business, Acting Township Trustees (Supervisors Waugh and House) reported on compliance with directives from a March 4 Notice of Findings in the fence dispute between Eugene & Candy Wenke and the Benjamin A. Thorud Irrevocable Trust. Trustee Waugh said the flood gap "is not in the original position but it is secured and in place," and trustees reported that barbed wire was added, fallen trees removed and damaged fence repaired. The trustees agreed the repairs are complete.
County Attorney Craig Miller advised that meeting minutes would serve as the report of findings and that a separate document did not need to be recorded with the County Recorder. Later, Village Township Clerk Don Pool notified the county that an original Notice of Findings submitted earlier did not meet recording standards; the county told Pool the original should be filed and the County would assist to record it. The minutes do not include a recorded filing of the original Notice of Findings or a copy of that document.
