Comments from the public:

• Dan Griffen stated he had been before the Board with this complaint earlier in the year, but finds it unacceptable that all the roads in Lake Geneva Terrace are not being plowed. There are three (3) roads in the subdivision that are not plowed. He would like it on the agenda and taken care of. Has someone made this area part of the flood plain? (Bollweg said he would put it on a highway committee agenda.)
