F. Public Comments:

Mr. Kartchner had approached the County Commission a few times (3/6/01, 6/19/01, 5/27/03, 7/29/03, 8/26/03) regarding the grievous condition of his neighbor, Donald Baker’s junk-strewn property, having pigs close to the Kartchner’s bedroom, etc. Mr. Kartchner has been trying to get this neighbor to clean it up for over 20 years and has taken the matter to court a few times with no positive action on Mr. Baker’s part. David Wilson, Deputy County Attorney, gave an update on the Kartchner/Baker matter today. Last Friday morning the County Sheriff’s Office, accompanied by the County Operations Department, went to the property to clean it up pursuant to the court order that had been issued by Judge Jones. However, Mr. Baker had blocked the gate with two vehicles. County staff tried unsuccessfully for 20 minutes to reason with him, requesting that he move those vehicles. The matter will go back to court (November 14 or 15) and the county will ask the judge to add the cost incurred in going out there and for preparations to clean it up. This morning the County Attorney’s Office received copies of letters from Mr. Baker pleading with the judge, indicating that he had not understood the process and that the heavy hand of government was resting upon him. The letter indicated the property was up for sale and Mr. Baker promised he would take with him every piece of equipment and/or whatever the county deemed junk if the property sold. Mr. Wilson said that apparently Mr. Baker had his LDS ward help clean up the property on Saturday and Iris Hennon, the county’s junk ordinance enforcer, will visit the property to see if anything has changed.
