Joint Drainage District 6 accepts petition for repair or improvement and selects ISG as engineer
Summary
Joint Drainage District 6 accepted a landowner petition for repair or improvement to a district drainage tile, accepted the petition for consideration, and named ISG as the district engineer to prepare the next steps.
Joint Drainage District 6 met Jan. 14 and accepted a petition received for repairs or an improvement of a district tile system. The joint board also formally designated ISG as the drainage engineer to develop the report and next steps.
Why it matters: accepting a petition begins the formal engineering and review process; the engineer will prepare costs and scope and advise the board on whether a repair or an improvement (with broader upsizing and assessment implications) is appropriate.
Petition acceptance and engineering selection: the board voted to accept the petition for repair and/or improvement and then approved a motion to retain ISG as the drainage engineer for the project. Board members indicated prior positive experience with ISG and said the firm will handle the engineering and permitting work.
Next steps: ISG will complete the engineering work, and the joint board said it expects further communications to set a schedule for field work and any future hearings. Both acceptance of the petition and engineer selection were carried by voice vote; one supervisor recorded an abstention on the ISG appointment.
Ending: With the petition accepted and ISG appointed, the joint board took the formal steps needed to begin engineering and public-notice processes required for repair or improvement of the district tile.
