We called some candidates to relocate signs last week and when they were not moved this past weekend, we removed them. We collected 63 signs from six different candidates. We are not picking on anyone.

We're not being real strict on putting the signs 5 feet from the property line and we're taking pictures of the violations to show the candidates.

We've ordered small portable pumps to put out there temporarily to move the standing water to No Name Lake. We've been pumping since early June and our lakes are fine. We have capacity to handle a couple inches of rain.

We'll do what we have to do to protect homes and roads. But, we would feel a lot better knowing we have the legal right to pump water when we have to in an emergency.

Once we get the ranking, we can go forward and develop a capital improvement plan to get the projects done.

I would just hate to be here late on a Friday seeing the lakes rising or a storm headed our way and have to wait until Monday to get permission from the water district. We'll do what we have to.
