Board of County Commissioners Special Call Meeting Minutes - Final August 12, 2025 Barbara Lioi received the following information: the culverts were estimated separately from the roadwork; residents were paying for their portion only; the County would assume ownership of the culverts going forward; multiple bids were secured for the work; and the HOA was advised via email of the facts. Ms. Lioi complained about the inconvenience, and posited Attorney Sweeney had not communicated clearly with the residents. Mr. Hicks explained there were fee savings for early payment, and the 7 percent annual interest was being waived. He also clarified that each resident would receive a statement of the costs, and the amount of the assessment. Ms. Wood told the Board she suspected their disappointment stemmed from the impression the residents would have a say in the final cost before it was finalized. Jim Dallhoff received confirmation from Mr. Javed that the entryway landscaping was planned to be restored, and that he would look into the matter. Ronald Koshuta received confirmation that a house located between the culverts paid for their own repairs, and also complained about the low water levels in WEII's lakes. Bill Griffith returned before the Board and received information on the competitive bid process and complained about the cost of the project. There being no further comments, a motion was made to approve staffs recommendation.
