Crafts, food and "other amendment to section 5.070. Public Works Director Guy Van Arsdale, Bev Bridgewater of the West Extension Irrigation District and the court discussed a question regarding the cleaning of ditches and the blading on a Kunze Road easement. The West Extension Irrigation District, interested in the operation of their canals, according to Bridgewater, sees no problem with public use of the easement but would like to see the material from the ditch cleaning placed on the landowner side, rather than on the road side. Van Arsdale noted that putting the debris on the roadside would involve extra work for the road department to clear it away. Bridgewater explained that she understands the landowners' perspective but sees the issue as one of continuing to cause a problem or of coming up with a solution.

He further described public outreach activities that include an open house, public meetings, and an interactive information web page. DEQ's responsibility, Thomas assured the court, is to ensure safe operation of the facility, to protect the public and the environment. Without that surety, DEQ will not allow startup. The court questioned Thomas on several of the issues, including the question of the scheduled dates "slipping." Planning Director Tamra Mabbott appeared for the public hearing on the amendment to the Morrow County Subdivision Ordinance, which would exempt property owners with parcels over 80 acres from the survey requirements in land partition proceedings.
