Township leaders urged to adopt floodplain ordinance; special meeting to be scheduled
Summary
A resident urged Grant County Commissioners to have organized townships adopt a floodplain ordinance or contract with the county; Commissioner Marty Meyer said he will schedule a special meeting and noted Diehl set an action deadline of Nov. 16, 2024.
A resident urged the Grant County Commissioners on Sept. 4 to press organized townships to adopt a floodplain ordinance or enter into an agreement with Grant County to administer one.
Patrick Diehl met with the commissioners and said action must be taken by Nov. 16, 2024. The minutes note that the cities of Carson, Leith and New Leipzig had opted out of the program while the city of Elgin had opted in. In response, Commissioner Marty Meyer said he would arrange a special meeting with the townships to discuss options and next steps.
The minutes record no formal vote or ordinance adoption; the board directed that the special meeting be scheduled to allow township representatives and county officials to confer on whether townships will adopt a floodplain ordinance or enter into an administrative agreement with the county. No implementation timetable or contingency financing is recorded in the minutes.
The record shows this matter will return to the board for further consideration after the planned township meeting. The minutes do not specify who will prepare materials for the meeting or whether a formal deadline beyond Nov. 16 will be imposed by the county.
