Barbee Property Owners Board of Directors meet Charles Lynch, chairman of the County Commissioners Drainage Board and Steve Boeder, from the office of Soil Conservation Service, were present for the April 20 meeting of Barbee Property Owners Association Board of Directors held at Barbee Conservation Club building. Lynch stated that if all persons who are involved or interested in the health of the lakes, farm erosion control, ditch clean up and problems of the Tippecanoe River would all work together, flooding and water problems could be solved because they are inter-related. Boeder explained that landowners funds are available for erosion control. If fence rows are left in, sod waterways maintained, grass and trees left in and the “no till” plan for farmers (which cuts erosion 80 to 90 percent) is used, the erosion problems would be solved.

Debbie Lambert, representing property owners on Big Barbee Lake, read a letter urging residents of all nine lakes to work together and cooperate in solving the high water problem.
