Drainage trustees review work orders, approve invoices for culvert and tile repairs
Summary
As drainage trustees the board approved three drainage claims, reviewed two new work orders (Wall Lake Township DD 230 culvert issue; DD 77 intake/tile issues) and approved an Aaron's Brothers invoice for $1,695 to repair two blowouts on a 24‑inch tile.
When the Wright County Board convened as drainage trustees, members reviewed minutes and recent work orders and approved drainage claims and invoices.
The trustees noted one previously reviewed work order for DD 7 lateral 1 and reviewed three drainage invoices submitted by contractors (recorded in the minutes as $4,900; $3,586.25; and $585). They moved and seconded approval of the drainage claims and the motion carried.
Trustees considered two new work orders. One, for Wall Lake Township Section 3 (DD 230), filed by Ryan and Penny Blackman, reported a tilted culvert and intake issues near a house; trustees discussed whether the work lies in the county right of way and referred the request to the engineer’s office and/or secondary roads for on‑site determination. A second work order, reported by Ray Stockseth for DD 77 (Lynn’s supervisor district), described intake problems on the north side of the road and a possibly plugged tile on the south side, potentially on CRP land; the engineer will determine right‑of‑way status and the trustees planned a site visit.
Trustees approved an invoice from Aaron's Brothers for $1,695 to repair two blowouts on a 24‑inch tile (DT 97); the minutes note the work had been signed off by Betty. After completing drainage business the trustees adjourned.
What happens next: the county engineer’s office is expected to inspect the reported drainage locations and advise trustees on eligibility and next steps for any repairs or right‑of‑way work.
