Board receives engineer's report for Joint Drainage District 162-7 and coordinates with Humboldt County
Summary
The board received (did not approve) an engineer's report for Joint Drainage District 162-7, discussed removing annexation language, and agreed to have the engineer amend the report before any formal hearing or preclassification.
Humboldt County supervisors and representatives on a conference call with neighboring jurisdictions received the engineer's report for Joint Drainage District 162-7 and discussed next steps for the tentative plan.
County staff confirmed the report had been distributed previously for an informational meeting. The engineer and board members clarified that "accepting" the report in this context meant receiving it as a tentative report, not granting final approval. One county participant raised concerns that the report still included annexation language that had been discussed and agreed to be removed; the engineer said he would amend the report before any formal hearings.
A board member asked whether the board could receive the report excluding annexation language and the county's engineer responded that the report could be amended prior to formal hearings. The board moved to receive the engineer's report for the proposed tile improvements and to continue coordination with Humboldt County on preclassification and scheduling. The motion to receive the report passed by voice vote.
The board did not direct the engineer to complete a preclassification at that meeting; members said further meetings would be needed to finalize the tentative plan and calendar any formal hearing.
