Board approves supervisor handling of several tile and washout repair requests
Summary
The board authorized a supervisor to handle multiple landowner repair requests, including broken tile and washouts; motions to approve a supervisor to act passed unanimously.
The board approved a motion authorizing a supervisor to handle several drainage repair requests submitted to the county.
Why it matters: approving a supervisor to handle small repair requests allows staff to process and authorize contractor work or repairs without requiring a separate board motion for each minor item, helping the county resolve washouts and broken tile more quickly.
What was approved: Amber (staff) summarized several requests: a broken tile/washout in Burke Township (DD63, Section 11, southeast of southwest quarter), a large broken tile/washout in Fenton Township (DD16 Section 17), tree roots clogging a tile, and a previously repaired broken tile reported by Joel Scowell (HK3-46). The board moved to delegate handling of the requests to a supervisor (motion by Wagner; second by Haas). The board voted and the motion carried unanimously.
Procedure: the board recorded the motion, heard no further discussion, and approved the delegation of authority for the listed requests. Staff will proceed with necessary field verification, contact contractors, and process any claims or paperwork required under county procedures.
Next steps: staff will follow normal contractor/landowner procedures for repairs and will report back to the board if any item requires formal board action or funding beyond routine repair authority.
