Votes at a glance: Delaware County Drainage Board actions and contract decisions
Summary
At the meeting the drainage board approved several items: hiring Banning Engineering for the Abe McConnell reconstruction, accepted Butler Masonry quotes for two repair jobs, approved a field tile tie‑in petition, set public hearings on two petitions, issued a 30‑day extension to a contractor, and approved maintenance claims.
The Delaware County Drainage Board recorded the following formal actions and votes during the meeting:
1) Hire Banning Engineering for Abe McConnell reconstruction — Motion passed by roll call. The board discussed estimates from Banning and Lochmueller; Banning provided an estimated $23,900 for design services (not including some locating fees). The board voted to retain Banning Engineering to proceed with the project’s design phase.
2) Accept Butler Masonry quotes for Hyatt and SRAM repairs — The board opened quotes and accepted Butler Masonry’s proposals: $20,235 for the Hyatt repair and $17,300 for the SRAM repair. The board recorded a roll call vote in favor.
3) Approve field tile tie‑in to Bowers Ditch — A petition to allow a farmer to tie a 36‑acre field into the Bowers tile system was approved by roll call.
4) Issue a one‑time 30‑day extension for Racer Ditch contractor — The board approved an extension to permit the contractor to finish the contract work; members warned that payment could be withheld if the work is not completed by the next meeting.
5) Schedule public hearings — The board approved setting a public hearing on Wayne Johns’ petition to remove an embankment obstructing overland flow and also moved forward with a public hearing process to study the Brown Ditch watershed reconstruction after receiving a petition from David Howell.
6) Approve maintenance claims — The board approved routine maintenance claims by roll call.
The motions were made and seconded as recorded in the meeting transcript; roll‑call votes were recorded for each item. Where a dollar figure was presented in discussion (Banning estimate, Butler Masonry quotes, tile tie‑in described as a field of 36 acres), those figures came from the firms or staff remarks at the meeting.
