Lynn Brownlee spoke to the Council regarding his property located at 24715 County Road 53
in Kersey. He stated that the wind and sand have been blowing causing soil erosion. The
Board of County Commissioners have discussed the issue and decided nothing needs to be
done but based their decision on what the person from the Soil Conservation said. Mr.
Brownlee would like someone to come out and look at what is happening.
Mr. Brownlee was advised that the Soil Conservation is a federal agency and that it would be
best to contact the County extension or the USDA. Mr. Brownlee was asked to address the
issue with the Board of County Commissioners at one of their regular open meetings on a
Monday or Wednesday. Mr. Brownlee was also given the local USDA phone number to call.
