EATON — Jerry Wick shared his concerns with the Sewer District Six timeline during the Preble County Commissioners’ meeting on Monday, March 2.

He asked for clarification about when the Findings and Orders were issued. Commission President Denise Robertson and Commissioner Rodney Creech informed him, the first Findings and Orders (which the board signed) was issued in 2014.

He also discussed complaints he had filed and the response he received from Preble County Public Health.

Wick asked if the commissioners had brought Preble County Health in for a conversation yet. Robertson responded, they have not done that yet.

“Are we going to put a panel or something together to come up with a plan to solve these sewage problems if this Sewer District Six [estimate] comes in too high and exceeds the feasibility study formula. I strongly urge the commissioners to have a plan in place to fix this problem,” Wick said.

Robertson responded, they will have to “do something” to create a plan and she believes they would use a committee. Creech added, they will have to determine what they can legal do to resolve the issue.

In other business, the board:

•Authorized an expenditure in the amount of $16,350 for additional training for BS&A Accounting Software for the Preble County Auditor.
