Drainage board posts proposed assessment rates and schedules Dec. 30 hearing
Summary
Board members accepted a proposed assessment schedule (examples in the packet: $10/acre, $150 per homesite, $4.50 commercial, 8-year collection) and moved to post the rates and hold a public hearing on Dec. 30 to consider adoption.
The Grant County Drainage Board on Oct. 14 voted to post proposed assessment rates and to hold a public hearing on Dec. 30 to consider adoption of those rates.
Staff presented draft assessment figures that the board discussed for notice and inclusion in the hearing: sample figures cited in the meeting included $10 per acre, $150 per homesite, and $4.50 for commercial parcels, with a minimum charge and an eight-year collection cycle referenced in the packet. Board members debated the precise minimum and collection period during the discussion and settled on the draft wording staff prepared for the notice.
A motion was made to post the rates as written and schedule the hearing for Dec. 30; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff agreed to provide assessment rates and the roll to the clerk so letters and public notices can be mailed and the hearing advertised on Webex. The board directed staff to return with final rates and the assessment roll so the hearing can proceed as scheduled.
