COMMISSIONER COMMENTS: Turner- warned of dry weather and burn issues. 

LATE ARRIVAL INFORMATION: Jason Sullivan, DC Emergency Management - Instituted a Burn Ban. Ratified by Commissioners tonight. Once Conditions improve, Thatcher can lift the ban without waiting for a meeting. 

PUBLIC COMMENT: Michael Mizell 14434 Goose Run  Rd- Aurora. It is undrive-able from the north end. He has spoken to County highway supt. Over the years. August 2025- Roads around it have all been repaved. And they were in better shape than Goose Run. Has emailed Commissioners. He wants to know how to get this road on the agenda. Park and Crossroads flood during rains and Goose Run is their only way out. Those 2 roads- small roads and few homes- they got paved again and Goose Run didn’t. He wants to know road expenditures in District 3. Last paved in 1999?? 

Gary Schwegmann- 14402 Goose Run- We are requesting to get on this road list. There’s no room to yield to opposing traffic. The high water events- this is the only way out. There has not been any maintenance on this road- someone will get severely injured or lose a family member. It needs to be addressed. Emergency responders had trouble to get to him last winter. They almost lost him- he was in a coma for a week. 

Commissioners said they were going to check on the road data and get info to the residents wo cae via their 2 spokespersons, hopefully.
