Mr. Butch Lackey, County Commissioner

Dear Mr. Commissioner:
I am a resident of Guadalupe Heights in the area next to Flat Rock Lake. We are
experiencing a problem that could be a health hazard. The problem is occurring on
county-owned land.
At the end of Cherry Way, at the entrance to what used to be a road {eading down to the dam,
there is a 55-gallon trash barrel. Recently someone has been using the barrel to dump the
remains of what was probably a deer. Obviously this creates_an odor, attracts flies, and is a
health hazard.
In the past, road and bridge employees picked up the trash in the barrel but now it appears
that they no longer feel responsible for it. A road and bridge staff member told me that this is
a "commissioner's barrel." I appreciate the fact that you have taken it upon yourself to empty
the barrel and to haul away the trash in your own vehicle. However, as a voter and taxpayer,
I feel that a county commissioner should not have to see that a trash barrel is emptied. This
work should more properly be performed by other county personnel.
Accordingly, I ask that my name be placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the county
commissioners. I understand that this meeting meeting will be held on January 9. I plan to
suggest several alternatives which would remedy this problem, including:
1. The proper county department should make regular pick-ups of the trash in the
barrel and police the area leading to the dam and also the area around the dam.
{Remember, this is county land.)
2. The barrel could be removed and some county department be made
responsible for policing the area on a regular basis.
3. tf the county cannot see that the barrel is emptied regularly, other than by a county
commissioner, then the land could be deeded to those individuals who own land
adjacent to the problem area, making litter pick-up their responsibility. This,
however, would deny public access to the dam from Cherry Way.
Please give this matter some thought and notify me at 896-1055 as to the time of my
appearance before the court.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
~~
Bill Burns
