5. New Business
Vance Swinger lives in Apple Meadows and is having an issue with a neighbor pushing snow into his ditch, which is flooding his home. There is a 7" drop in 9/10th pf a mile in the ditch, causing all of the water to run onto his property. The County put 2 drains on the west side of his approach. Neighbors are draining water and snow into his ditch. Burleigh County has sent two letters to tell the neighbors that they can not push snow into his ditch. Vance indicated that if no one's going to do anything about this, he's going to start blowing snow into his neighbor's yard. Vance's address is 7801 Beacon Loop, and the neighbors are 7800 and 7831. Dan is going to contact our attorney to see what the township can do to help these people.

F. Weed Supervisors Report - Dusty Hasper
Nothing to report.
Gaylen Dewing indicated that the County is claiming they have jurisdiction over the old City of Bismarck ETA. It does not; it is Apple Creek Township's jurisdiction. The Apple Creek Township ordinances will apply to the property that came back from the City's ETA. If the township doesn't want the property back, the City will keep it. Bismarck Planning and Zoning was making rules for the township that the board didn't like. ETA does not affect tax or road maintenance. The main differences between the City and the township are the building size and lot size
