5.5 minute mark   V. PUBLIC COMMENTS

Jerry Wick,  from West Alexandria on proposed Sewer Distric 6. He reports an inspector was sent out to the trailer park on January 6, of this year…There is raw sewage running above the ground from septic tank….no underground septic or leach field.  Bravo to Jerry Wick. There is a expensive travesty being inflicted on residents of the area proposed as Sewer District 6.  My personal view is if there is an area known to be causing the raw sewage issue then that area needs addressed. As it stands now; far to many property owners are being dragged into an expensive solution to a limited problem.      

12.5 minute mark   

Nancy Allen Petty? from Eaton. This the Board that was in effect when the Preble County Art Association planning, raising money for what at the time was  the new Art building on Hillcrest. Recent Register Herald newspaper article was misinformed. The lease was not created on a napkin (As reported in the RH – Commissioner Creech claimed a napkin). It was a well planned reform for the Preble County Art Association. Listen to her.  If the building is no longer used by the Art Association then the building and property were to be returned to Preble County. …30 years ago… but the lease is still a valid and legal document.  Property should be returned to Preble County.
