Board reviews annual spray completion; commissioner raises concern about chemical effectiveness
Summary
The Drainage Board noted completion of annual spraying by The Daltons and Right of Way Mgmt; Commissioner Rob Schuman questioned the effectiveness of the chemicals and asked for additional inspection and re‑spray as needed.
Secretary Jennifer Stephenson told the board that The Daltons and Right of Way Mgmt had completed the 2026 annual spray program. Commissioner Rob Schuman said he had concerns about the chemicals used and observed that brush on his property did not appear fully killed; Drainage Supervisor Max Utterback responded that The Daltons returned quickly to re‑spray after a recent complaint and that Utterback will inspect open drains soon.
In other business County Engineer Brad Allen raised a non‑county regulated drain issue on East Bair Road that outlets into Shriner Lake; the board discussed whether private tile installations in farm ground have exacerbated the problem and whether the drain could be petitioned into county regulation. No formal board action was taken on either matter during the meeting; staff follow-up was directed.
Why it matters: chemical control is part of maintenance regime and concerns over efficacy affect management of vegetation in drains; the East Bair Road discussion flags a cross‑property drainage problem that may require petitioning or cooperative private solutions.
