The nuisance case against Gene Neely’s property in Elmyra has ground to a stalemate.

LaGrange County Commissioners got a status report from nuisance officer Bill Stewart on the property. Stewart recommended a continuation of six more months to see if an investigation by planning and zoning can reach a determination.

But County Commissioner Terry Martin was opposed. He offered a motion to reinstate an earlier fine of $4,800. Martin’s motion died for lack of a second. Commissioners Larry Miller and Dennis Kratz voted extend the case another six months to July 20th.

In other business, the commissioners approved an ordinance to pay Pichtometry $22,479 in advance as a first draw in their
aerial photography contract for GIS.

They also approved a motion to place the GIS department within the I-T Department.
