Board accepts amendment to Drainage District D11 Sub 1; project cost to rise
Summary
Supervisors accepted an amendment to the D11 Sub 1 drainage report that will change how an old main is handled, upsizes part of the new main from 18 to 24 inches and increases the estimated project cost by $1,122,000.
The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the Drainage District D11 Sub 1 report at a recent meeting (date not specified), adopting changes to the planned installation of a new drainage main.
Under the amendment, the northern portion of the project will not follow the old main route and the county will upsize the new main from 18 inches to 24 inches in places with higher flow. The presenter said the amendment increases the projects estimated cost by about $1,122,000.
The amendment also noted the engineers will not annex certain lands into the benefited area because they would not drain to the new improvements; the transcript references 10.3 acres discussed in the report. Landowners were encouraged to provide any boundary information or corrections to ensure the benefited-area maps are complete.
The board motioned to accept and approve the amendment and carried the motion by voice vote; no opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript. Staff indicated the record will remain available for review prior to the hearing date identified in the drainage process.
Why it matters: amendments to drainage district reports determine construction scope, benefited-area boundaries and cost apportionment for landowners within the drainage district. Upsizing piping and route changes can materially affect project cost and which landowners are assessed.
