Fayette County commissioners adopt 2026 ditch maintenance rates
Summary
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners voted Oct. 27 to adopt 2026 ditch maintenance assessment rates for a long list of named ditches, authorizing the clerk to certify the rates to the county auditor.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners adopted the 2026 ditch maintenance rates at its Oct. 27 meeting and directed the clerk to certify those rates to the Fayette County Auditor.
Commissioner James D. Garland moved to adopt the ditch maintenance rates as presented; Commissioner Donald L. Fleak seconded the motion and the roll call was unanimous. The minutes list specific percentage assessments for each ditch. Examples in the record include Janes at 100.25%, Maple Grove at 50.25%, Sugar Creek at 41%, Meadow Drive at 50%, and numerous others set at smaller fractional percentages or at 0% where applicable.
Why it matters: these rates are the formal assessments used to fund ditch maintenance work and are certified to the county auditor for collection. The minutes provide a full list of named ditches and their assigned rates; the clerk was authorized to complete certification.
What's next: the clerk will certify the adopted rates to the Fayette County Auditor for inclusion in the 2026 assessment process. The minutes record no separate public comment on the rates.
