Under further business, Mr. Ward asked Ms. Davis whether an executive session was required regarding the Harding case. Ms. Davis stated that she spoke with John Watson, attorney for Mr. Harding and Mr. Elsea. Mr. Watson spoke with Mr. Harding and told him to comply and cleanup so that he is not in the setbacks and do what needs to be done to get in compliance. Ms. Davis suggested that Ms. Orschell return to the property prior to the next meeting to check the compliance status.

Regarding Mr. Elsea, Ms. Davis said Mr. Watson has forwarded the paperwork to Mr. Elsea and requested them to proceed to apply for a permit and go through proper protocol. Once the permit is denied or approved, then it will be up to Lakeshore to proceed forward with their attorney, if they so desire. Mr. Gillespie asked if the mobile home was still on the premises to which Ms. Davis responded that as far as she knew it was still there. Ms. Orschell stated that she didn’t think Mr. Elsea was living in it full time as he actually lives in Indianapolis. Ms. Greene, from the audience, asked if this was the same person who asked if they could put a mobile home on the premises about a year ago. Mr. Braun said that it was and that Mr. Elsea was instructed not to put the mobile on the property.

Ms. Orschell gave an update on the Barricklow property and stated that the only thing remaining on the property were electric poles. Thirty-one dumpsters were used in the clean-up efforts. Board members reviewed the pictures, taken in October 2014 to the present date, and were pleased with the clean-up efforts. Ms. Davis stated that IDEM is looking into the removal of the light poles, but the understanding is that a relative of Mr. and Mrs. Barricklow is going to repurpose the light poles for a project and the intent is to remove them from the premises in the future.

Mr. Ward asked if anyone else had any other updates. Mr. Gillespie made a motion to adjourn. Mr. Braun 2nd. AIF. MC. Meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
