Safety Issues
Tom Grund and Dave Whitt were present to ask for advice regarding an issue with a neighbor who has been excavating and changing the flow of a creek causing issues including flooding, damage to foundation and sanitary sewer to their properties. Tom Grund brought this up a year ago and went to the PC Soil and Water and was told it was a civil issue even though the neighbor is not permitted to change the flow of a creek. After a brief discussion the Trustees recommended they contact their insurance agent, a Portage County Commissioner and the Health Department.
