Justin identified the bond amount as \"$35,707 even\" and the bond number as \"0814344.\"

Kenny Veil moved to release the bond; a second was called and the board approved the release by voice vote. Board members clarified which bond was under consideration before the vote to ensure no confusion with other instruments.

Staff did not identify any outstanding maintenance or punch-list items tied to this bond at the meeting.

\"We've already been out to figure out how to put the aluminum steel walls up and the I beams,\" a Fire Department official said, noting crews have scoped assembly and storage arrangements. The draft identifies the fire department as the monitoring unit for gauges; staff explained that the process would be triggered by preset gauge levels at Blue Bluff.

\"When it gets to that 9 foot, that alert should send out to everybody's computer that said that they have an alert to it. And then that's the mechanism to where the rest of this kicks in,\" a staff member said, describing how alerts from gauges would initiate the response. Board members pressed for clarity on who notifies the railroad and how quickly tracks can be closed. \"Railroad's gonna be hard to work with because they're just hard to work with,\" one board member said.

The board discussed storage and deployment logistics for aluminum flood panels and a need for regular drills. A fire official suggested annual or semiannual mock exercises: \"Within this draft, we also ought to have some type of mechanism that we tell the crews do mock at least once a year,\" the official said.

Members agreed to arrange a working meeting that includes the railroad contractor and city officials to resolve open items before the board signs the MOU. No formal action to adopt the MOU was taken; the board received the draft and directed staff to coordinate stakeholder meetings and to return with a revised draft after outreach and clarification.","A first-draft memorandum of understanding from Banning Engineering describing flood-response steps and triggers drew discussion about which agency will trigger and carry out closures, storage of flood panels and training; board members asked for working meetings with the city, railroad representatives and other stakeholders before signing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6219316,"Morgan County drainage board orders survey after asphalt placed over Nutter Ditch easement",440,414000,854000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3623111-1885c4e84cbf049a71d9a74927bdb9ae&start=414&end=854","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3623111-1885c4e84cbf049a71d9a74927bdb9ae/thumbnail_414000.jpg","/articles/6219316/Morgan-County/Indiana/Morgan-County-drainage-board-orders-survey-after-asphalt-placed-over-Nutter-Ditch-easement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6219316-877024c570f508800e2a9ca984b513a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770918509&Signature=LKyg3FksJBXr0Xe52aHJ1gjN7tUr48FaocXjjCM8~THlYFH4O~DbjPWWKwLRIfXUFjhRmGGmF7d88jtZviMQMnS6XUn-96mR6wsw1D1yWOvjB9cNtxPcmHoKl7sg5SeWbgmLD0LnOdPuHTNEHuEYa5rqXGW6UdFwmAHjZda5MjhLtdz~60L9Kb9JiEdLK~s~yFYfNQdwxvg1MSPXOsK0568-HdqnaBXmoHGWGu0SA065Gjt9~4Bi9MoNo5vjlW3mJgcPyKZDXOZXrdEc8jCaXDUit~gtGwXpYFG5dM2QLQaIywysJPH1RLIcyBjTWr2ir-29dgF~I3x09HsIKxBuvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its June 2 meeting, the Morgan County Drainage Board voted to obtain quotes for a land survey of the Mary A. Netter (Nutter Ditch) regulated drain after staff reported a business had paved over a drainage pipe and other properties appear to be encroaching on the ditch easement.

Board staff said the county had not yet received a formal petition from Hudson Plumbing but that the company had paved over the ditch anyway. \"We got a lot of people encroaching on that another ditch in that pipe area,\" staff member Gary said, adding that Hudson told him he had mailed paperwork and that the contractor had proceeded to place asphalt despite county discussions.

The board's action directs staff to request quotes for a survey that will locate inlets and manholes, show elevations, pipe size and type, and identify permanent structures inside the easement. Gary told the board he expects the survey to show several encroachments: \"Yeah, 3 homes encroaching and 2 asphalt parking lots encroaching that I can see right off the bat.\" The board approved getting a quote for survey work on the Mary A. Netter regulated drain by voice vote.

Meeting discussion covered options after the survey is complete. Gary said the next step would be to compile a list for the county attorney, and the attorney would advise how to proceed. He warned the board that some homes might be grandfathered if they predate county right-of-way rules. \"If these houses are pre 1968, was it Bill? Or '65 is when the right of ways come into effect. So they would grandfather in his rights to encroach,\" Gary said in the meeting.

The board did not adopt any enforcement action at the June 2 meeting beyond approving the survey procurement. Members said the attorney will review the survey results and that the board will consider options — including notifying property owners — at a future meeting.

The board asked staff to compile full documentation for the attorney and to return with the survey results and any petitions for formal consideration in July.","The Morgan County Drainage Board voted to obtain a survey and quotes to map encroachments on the Mary A.
