Public Comments:
Bill Adams, from CR 621 spoke to the commissioners about a severe drainage problem at his driveway and the County Road. The culvert has become clogged up because the drainage ditches need to be cleaned out. He would like to talk with Randy Atkin about replacing the culvert with a larger one and cleaning out the ditches to allow them to work properly. He said that he would work with the County. He was told that Randy Atkin would contact him and he was given assurance that something will be done.
