And the county â and the West Lakes chain in particular â is losing.
Dan Lash attends the river basin meetings as Noble Countyâs official representative when Commissioner Anita Hess cannot attend. When Hess is able to go, Lash attends anyway.
During Mondayâs meeting, Lash called into question a conclusion written by the group which said there wasnât anything that could be done to mitigate flood waters in the West Lakes chain. He said the commissionâs view from the outset is that it doesnât want water flowing uninhibited from the West Lakes chain because that water creates problems further down the watershed â water that residents in that area donât want.
