Introductions and welcome

1.                            Approve Minutes—Hunter moved, Eric seconded, motion carried

 

2.                            District member concerns—Blake and Laurel spoke about the drainage at their property at 800 E and 800 S. A property owner near them has refused to allow water to drain through his property, and another has obstructed the drain. 

 

The board discussed bringing a pipe to bring drainage water to a makeshift drain, enforcing the drainage act or bringing drainage to an existing tile drain. The mayor may have offered to support a project, though that hasn’t been confirmed.

 

Brandon said we need to survey and make sure there is enough slope for it to drain, then send a letter to the offending landowners.  The Drainage Act is clear that drains cannot be obstructed.

 

Brandon will start the survey tomorrow. A letter will go out to those affected. Hunter can write it notifying landowners, board members can approve it and it will go out. It will reference the Drainage Act of 2007. After that work can start in October.

 

The district board conducted a self-evaluation.

 

Maintenance and capital projects: Maintenance plans were outlined, including drainage cleaning along the beaten lane with estimated costs of $2500. The team also discussed working with the city on future projects, including the culvert under the road on Main and drainage at 1600 W and main.
