Sewer board meets tonight
ONALASKA — An emergency
meeting of the Board of Supervisors of
Polk County Fresh Water Supply
District No. 2 will be held in the district
office at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Board President Grant Blackledge
said the meeting is being held to discuss
the lawsuit filed against the district by
Stowaway Bay Property Owners
Association.
To commissioners
Stowaway Bay is seeking to be
removed from the district since they
already have their own state-approved
sewage system.
The plaintiffs contend that since they
are having to pay the developer of
Stowaway Bay monthly charges for the
purchase of the system, being included
in the sewer district and paying taxes to
the district results in double taxation.
A preliminary hearing on the case is
scheduled for Friday, Oct. 7, in the Polk
County Courthouse.
Blackledge most of the discussion
may take place in executive session
since the district can legally discuss
litigation in closed session.
The district offices are located in
Haynes Square on U.S. 190.

you need it, it will be there,”
the judge said. If the money
is not needed that year, it
can either be transferred to
another area or be carried
over into the following year’s
budget.
Two citizens came before
the coyft With road com-
plaint* The first, Rafael
Coppola, said he has talked
to Commissioner Denham
several time in reference to
ditches in Chesswood sub-
division which are not clear.
“How many time does a
citizen have to ask before
something is done?” he ask-
ed repeatedly.
Denham said his crews
have worked in that subdivi-
sion several times, but that
no matter what they did it
did not seem to please Cop-
ipola. Coppola said he ap-
preciates the work the coun-
ty has done in other parts of
the subdivision but that, on
the ditches in question, the
workers did not do the work
“like they were supposed
to.” He said ended up hiring
someone to clear the ditches.
Denham said he would
check into the matter.
Also present was James
Ward, a resident of Wiggins
Village No. 2. Ward said sub-
division residents are cir-
culating a petition to see if
they can get street im-
provements. He also
presented a bill for base
material he iwrchased for
the road;,
Later m the court meeting,
commissioners rejected the
bill, saying they could not
legally pay it because the
purchase was not authorized
by the county. There is also
some question as to who is

responsible for the roads in
Wiggins Village No. 2.
Judge Baker said he
knows the county has assum-
ed maintenance of school
bus routes in the subdivision,
but does not believe the
county assumed all of the
roads. Records show Bonnie
Maud Wiggins deeded all of
subdivision roads to the
lublic, but Baker said that is
formality which gives
residents and visitors in-
gress and egress but does not
involve maintenance.
In other business, commis-
sioners approved the hiring
of Lorna Sandlin and Ricky
Sanders as part-time dispat-
chers for the sheriff’s
department, replacing
Henrietta (Kitty) Williams;
approved a plat for Cedar
Ridge subdivision off FM
3128; approved a plat for
Brushy Creek subdivision off
FM 356 and hired Doyle
Niemtschk to replace Jade
Cade as a Precinct 2 road
and bridge employee.
