A public hearing has been set for this Thursday at 9am for drainage district 33 to clean out a drainage ditch and at 9:30am for drainage district 190 to discuss annexation.  Those hearings will be held in the boardroom of the courthouse.

Continuing discussion took place about a county-wide nuisance ordinance.  Negative public comments were brought up by Supervisor Tom Contner and he said he firmly stands behind not being in favor of an ordinance along with board chair John Muir.   However, Nick Martino, the county attorney, is working on a new draft to explain how cases may be handled in the future.
