Board approves TIPMOP pole reset petition; surveyor reports progress on Bose/Lower Elliott reconstruction
Summary
The board approved a petition from TIPMOP to reset power poles near regulated drains and received an update that the Bose County regulated drain reconstruction and Lower Elliott second phase are underway.
The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board approved a petition from TIPMOP to reset power poles along County Road 400 West between 600 North and 725 North and to hydro‑excavate near regulated drains where necessary. County staff reviewed an exhibit showing pole locations relative to the Hester and Moxing regulated drain and recommended approval.
Staff noted contractors will hydro‑excavate in areas where tile is known in county records and that if crews encounter tile they are expected to repair it and preserve drainage function. A board member moved to approve the petition; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
In a separate update, staff reported the Bose County Regulated Drain Reconstruction Project is approaching completion and the Lower Elliott second phase reconstruction project is under way. Staff said tree clearing has been done and construction observation is in place, and that on‑site work is moving forward with contractors and the county's construction observer.
Discussion only: staff provided the pole reset and excavation details and a construction progress update on the regulated drain reconstruction projects. Direction/assignment: staff will continue construction observation and coordination with contractors; no board action was required on the reconstruction update. Formal action: TIPMOP petition approved.
