 Board of Trustees, Cache County Drainage District

Regular Meeting 1/29/24

Notice Date & Time: 1/29/24 7:00 PM -1/29/24 8:30 PM

Description/Agenda:

1.     Review minutes

Minutes were approved. Brandon made the motion, Dennis seconded.

 

2.     Swear in new members

Hunter and Eric were sworn in

 

 

3. Elect officers

               JoLynne suggested that whoever doesn’t have an officer assignment helps determine if taxes were collected for every parcel in the district. Dennis said some positions take a great learning curve. 

 

Hunter moved we elect Brandon as chairman and send him to talk to Cub River. Eric seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

JoLynne nominated Hunter as the vice chairman. Eric seconded. Motion carried unanimously. He will accompany Brandon in Cub River discussions.

Dennis was elected unanimously as clerk

JoLynne was appointed unanimously as secretary treasurer

Eric will help figure out whether taxes were collected on property in the district

 

 

 

3. Determine spending policies to allow for faster service 

 

Brandon said he has talked to the mayor about the culvert at 800 S Main, and he agreed there should be some cost savings. He has requested a bid for the work and has not heard back.

 

The CCDD#6 cleaned 19 quarter-mile increments at about $300 per quarter mile last year. We also replaced some culverts for a property owner after the property owner supplied the culverts .The area south of Gregory’s was cleaned but Brandon said there are some problematic culverts through there. We will want to watch how the water drains this spring.               

 

Dennis said identifying what has been cleaned and what the cost was should help guide spending and faster service. If we do that we should eliminate holding a meeting to pay a bill. If an expense is greater than expected, we could address it in the next meeting so long as the total budget isn’t overspent. 

 

Hunter moved we amend the policies to allow for electronic communication in the case of an expense coming in higher than the expected, budgeted amount, up until 15 percent high.

 

3.     Assign a member to work with Cub River Irrigation

Hunter moved we elect Brandon as chairman and send him to talk to Fransen Engineering. Eric seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

 

Brandon will work with Fransen Engineering. Hunter will accompany him. 

 

JoLynne asked if we could work out a list of interests the board should take to Cub River., including a place where the irrigation ditch crosses the drainage ditch. Brandon said we should have a timeline. Dennis said they should first of all go in and ask why his and Brandon’s recommendations were not followed.

 

In March we will hear back and decide on our own priorities.

Dennis moved we adjourn, Hunter seconded, motion carried unanimously.

Joint meeting: Cache County Drainage District 6 and 4, 4-11-22

  Joint Meeting, CCDDs #6 and #8   In attendance: Adam Johnson, Robert Barlow, Bill Wright, Dennis Jackason, Jeff, Mark Blair,  JoLynne Lyon and Brandon Allen.      Jeff presented a redrawn map that reflects the natural flow of drainage. It takes in many parcels from District 4 and adds them to District 6. Mark showed board members from both districts where the open and closed drains are and how the water flows during a high water event.   JoLynne asked what would suffer if the districts were unified. Currently there are several administrative units and they are overwhelmed trying to keep up with state requirements.   Adam said the tax levy is $3 per acre and $5 minimum per parcel in District 4. Dennis said District 6’s levy is $2 per acre and $5 minimum.   Adam said the drainage makes sense. His district will lose revenue if the new boundaries are accepted. JoLynne said the parcels also represent liability.   Dennis told Dist. 4 me...

Minutes, Annexation and Budget public hearings, 12-1-2020

Annexation Hearing In attendance: Brandon, Dennis, JoLynne, Wade Nicholas, Adam Johnson, Troy Karren and Jackie Lilienquist. Brandon introduced the annexation, saying the district is trying to adjust its boundaries after so many propoerties were dropped from the tax roles. Wade Nicholas said his property is being hurt by the drain because when it is full, the pressure causes the water table to rise because the ditch is below the clay layer, and it pushes water through the sandy loam toward his house. He said he understands the ditch needs to be there to drain property in the “middle valley” but it harms him and he does not want to pay taxes. He has been in that property for 4 years. Brandon and JoLynne asked if he is sure he is getting more harm than good from the ditch. Brandon said the ditch has been cleaned a lot since it flooded in 2017. Dennis told the attendees about the history of the board working to understand its boundaries. The parcels are being considered because the ditch ...
