Minutes 9.9.2024

 

Cache County Drainage District #6 Board of Trustees

Date & Time: 9/9/24 7:00 PM -9/9/24 8:30 PM

 

In attendance: Brandon, JoLynne, Dennis, Hunter and Eric, Matt Woods and Laurel and Blake Goodwin

 

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.

Meeting Minutes 06.14.2021

JoLynne read the minutes. Dennis moved to accept the minutes. Brandon seconded. Motion passed unanimously (Bill and Eric did not vote, since they were not there)   Dennis said he had taken the oath of Office at the county offices today. He administered the Oath of Office to all other board members and each member signed their certificate. Dennis signed them all. He will take them back to be filed at the County Clerk’s Office. JoLynne, Dennis and Brandon’s terms will expire on Dec. 31 2023. Bill’s and Eric’s will expire on Dec. 31 2024.   Dennis read the financial report for the quarter. JoLynne read the balance from the bank. There is a difference in our favor (bank balance is greater than book balance). JoLynne and Dennis will reconcile the two.   Annexation and Possible Consolidation   JoLynne reported talking to LeGrand Bitter, who recommended going to Cary Jenkins to have the map drawn and avoiding the need to have the boundaries surveyed. She did, he drew the ma...
