Commissioners Office Safety Meeting
Public Comment Period
The Commissioners met with Kristy Trask and Jennie Larson regarding an August 18, 2010 letter
from Grant County Public Works to Homeowners in the Fairway Drive area stating that there
have been a number of complaints/concerns regarding unauthorized work in the County Road
Right of Way (ROW) along Fairway Drive in Moses Lake. The letter states that homeowners have
been filling in recently constructed roadside ditches. The purpose of these ditches is for roadside
storm water management, which decrease the potential for localized flooding. The homeowners
who have filled in these ditches are being requested to remove the material they put in these
ditches and restore the ditch to its original constructed cross-section.

Ms. Larson does not understand why ditches are being required for their 1 mile of area only. She
stated that a rumor was circulating that the City of Moses Lake said the homeowners could fill in
the ditches. They did not verify this information. Can the County wait to restore these ditches
until after the winter and see if the area floods due to the ditches being filled in? This is a request
for Public Works. Commissioner Stevens said the citizens can request to vacate the county road
and make it private if they wish. The meeting adjourned.
