Summary

The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board approved a memorandum of understanding with Latham Partners LLC (developer) clarifying that the county will vacate regulated tile on private property after drain reconstruction and development, consistent with historical practice.

The Tippecanoe County Drainage Board approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Latham Partners LLC concerning the Upper Elliott Ditch. Representatives Mike Balog and Tim Crowley said they reviewed the agreement and that the partnership accepts its terms.

County staff described the MOU as an agreement that, following county regulated drain reconstruction and subsequent property development, the county will vacate the regulated tile located on the property once it is no longer needed. “This board has historically always vacated tile lines when they're no longer needed as development occurs,” a staff member said, and recommended approval.

A board member moved to approve the MOU; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no public comment.

Discussion only: staff explained the MOU addresses timing and follows precedent to vacate tile when development makes county tile unnecessary. Direction/assignment: none beyond executing the MOU. Formal action: board approved the MOU as presented.
