Ms. Barbara Graven, rental property owner in Fruitland Addition, presented photos and a summary of damages to her property due to sewer problems on Sewer District No. 2.  Barbara Curtis, representing Public Works was also present.  A letter from Environmental Health with recommendations for treating the area was also presented.  Ms. Graven stated she is loosing a tenant due to the sewage problem under the house and feels the gravel should be removed before new gravel is put in place.

After much discussion it was decided to ask Scott Barnhart to check once again to be sure drying is complete and give Public Works time to complete recommendations by Environmental Health.  The cost and payment is to be considered but the Board does not feel the expense will be entirely to the county.  The second water problem was not a sewage problem but was the washing machine drain. 

New gravel will be placed by Public Works after the inspection by Environmental Health.
