Commission adopts formal fence‑view application and clarifies process
Summary
The Osage County Commission adopted a written fence‑view request form and discussed statutory payment and notice requirements for fence viewers, agreeing to create a paper trail and set a formal viewing date for a current neighbor dispute.
A county official reviewed the fence‑viewing statute and proposed a standard application form so the county would have a clear record when property owners request a fence view. The presenter explained the statutory payments and steps required "pursuant to statute," including that each fence viewer is entitled to receive $7.50 as compensation and that checks must be made to each fence viewer individually.
Jeremy Robinson, a property owner raising a boundary dispute, said he provided tax documents and surveys and asked the commission to set a formal fence‑view date. The presenter recommended adopting the application form to trigger a methodical process—receipt of checks, notice to interested property owners, and mailed notice so both parties have fair notice and can attend. The commission voted to approve the Osage County fence‑view request form as presented.
The commission also directed staff to include the form on next week's agenda to set the viewing date and to confirm the required payments and statutory notice procedures before conducting a field view.
