April Cassell, also of Grape-

"Adding another access to the
water would add a bigger burden
on the sheriffs department," she
said.
Mick Sprouftke, who hap-

He pointed out how this proposal
would violate stipulations set in

However, all three commission-

Lynda Ring-Erickson commended
county employees for researching

"This piece of county is very
valuable, I think. It could make
some money and it could put this
piece of property back on the tax
rolls. Thank you for doing that
kind of work," she told county
staff.
