Commission sets Sept. 17 meeting, discusses ditch cleanup and recruiting alternates
Summary
The commission scheduled its next meeting for Sept. 17, 2024, discussed ongoing Town Ditch cleanup and options for buying pipe or coordinating with property owners, and suggested recruiting alternates to improve attendance.
At the end of the Aug. 20 meeting the Planning Commission confirmed its next meeting for Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024, and covered a set of administrative items.
Members discussed Town Ditch maintenance: a recent cleaning removed a screen prematurely and silt and sticks are causing flow problems; commissioners reported variable water turns and said repeated cleaning has improved flow but long‑term fixes may require purchasing pipe or engaging agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if burial or major alteration is proposed. Members noted much of the cleanup work is volunteer and discussed whether to allocate funds or find pipe suppliers to make repairs.
The commission also discussed membership and low attendance by a few members. Commissioners suggested recruiting alternates, with several recommending a local resident (Aubrey) who has assessor/title experience and prior county work. The commission agreed staff should follow up on possible alternates.
The meeting concluded with an adjournment motion, which was approved and the meeting ended at roughly 8:17 p.m.
