Officials announce plan to dissolve Avon Fremont Drainage District; $56,000–$58,000 to be distributed to towns
Summary
Staff reported the Avon Fremont Drainage District will be dissolved and remaining funds in the account (estimated $56,000–$58,000) will be returned proportionately to member towns; village share is approximately 5 percent and Bryce Lake accounts for about 75 percent of the drainage area.
Officials outlined plans to dissolve the Avon Fremont Drainage District and return remaining funds to member towns. Staff said the drainage district was originally established to manage natural water drainage and that assessments collected for maintenance will cease because the villages will assume maintenance responsibilities.
A staff member presented a map and said the district covered Ray's Lake (referred to in the meeting) and related drainage areas. “We're dissolving it because the villages have decided that we should be able to maintain this within our own communities,” the staff member said. He said the account currently holds about $56,000–$58,000 and that those funds will be distributed proportionately to the towns; the village’s share is roughly 5 percent. The presenter said one member of the district — identified as Bryce Lake — represents about 75 percent of the drainage area and will receive the largest share.
Officials noted that the annual assessments previously collected for the drainage district appeared on property tax bills; the presenter confirmed the assessment amount is part of property taxes. No formal vote on dissolution was recorded in the transcript during the presentation. Staff recommended accepting the mapping and distribution details and returning funds to member jurisdictions.
