(Spirit Lake)– An ongoing controversy over roads in the East Okoboji Beach area and who’s responsible for maintaining them was a hot topic again at Tuesday’s Dickinson County Board of Supervisor’s meeting. The issue has come up repeatedly over the past month or so…and it was very evident the lack of a resolution is frustrating residents of that area.
Jack Lorch lambasted supervisors for not doing anything.
Supervisor Chairman June Goldman said they are addressing the matter by appointing a committee of residents, D-N-R officials, the County Attorney and County Engineer to come up with options and report back at the July 30th supervisor meeting.
At issue is one road in particular that leads to a boat ramp on the south side of East Okoboji Beach. Residents are concerned over the high volume of traffic on the unpaved road and all of the dust.
