Members of the Big Swan Lake Improvement District Association were present to discuss runoff protection along Emerald Trail. They talked to Todd Co.

Berscheit seconded the motion. Motion passed. They also asked the township board for permission to post a sign by the public access to promote walleye release as it is a walleye stocking area. However, that public access is located off a county road. They will talk to the county about posting the sign.
A resident complained of rough road on 341st Ave. from 160th to 150th St. A supervisor will check to see if it needs more gravel or a good blading job.

At the special hearing tonight the board listened to local residents about the usefulness of a building nuisance. The lawyer was not present to explain a state statute about this. The board and the residents here agreed that it would be difficult to define a nuisance building, costly and hard to enforce an ordinance like that. The board will wait to hear from the lawyer what the next step would be.
In the road report the board discussed adding more berms on 210th St. to help washouts on the north side. The contractor is working on spot graveling. A trapper is working on controlling beavers in Molly Creek. Contractor will clear culvert when able. Sup. Johnson suggested getting the culvert in now for the manure line to go thru on Ermine Drive.
