Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final August 19, 2025 <br />County owned the open space, but the public was not allowed to access it, and <br />further, the County had to take measures to prevent public access. Discussion was <br />had regarding the original intent of the Krogel property. Commissioner Earman <br />expressed doubt about the property's suitability for public traffic and favored <br />approving the settlement. <br />Beth Powell, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Conservation, provided <br />Commissioner Adams with details on the fence which would be hogwire and fence <br />posts with a locked pole gate. Ms. Powell confirmed for Commissioner Moss that <br />grant funds were used to purchase the Krogel property which was also the site of a <br />historically significant homestead. Ms. Powell detailed the improvements made to the <br />rest of the property, and confirmed the restored home could be opened. Ms. Powell <br />confirmed the rest of the property could be opened to the public once the fence was <br />installed. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Commissioner <br />Adams, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following <br />vote: <br />Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman Loar, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner <br />Earman, and Commissioner Moss <br />15.
