Board approves cleaning of County Ditch 3 Branch 2 to address vegetation and drainage
Summary
Public works requested and the board approved cleaning County Ditch 3 Branch 2 (overgrown with vegetation and cattails); staff noted remaining leveling and seeding work and projected costs, and the board authorized proceeding with the cleaning.
Public works presented a drainage request for County Ditch 3 Branch 2 and asked the board to approve cleaning the branch to restore flow.
Staff said the inspected ditch was overgrown with vegetation, primarily cattails, and described remaining work including leveling spoils and seeding. Public works noted some existing assessments and loan balances on the ditch account and estimated additional work costs of roughly $2,000 to complete current tasks. Commissioners asked questions about timing; staff said the landowner wanted the cleaning completed as soon as possible and that the work could be scheduled this fall.
Commissioner Tim moved to proceed with the cleaning and the board approved the motion by roll call. Staff said they will inspect the broader ditch system and schedule joint ditch meetings with neighboring counties and the appropriate landowners to plan future maintenance.
