Murray County pays ditch bills, schedules CD 28 abandonment hearing
Summary
The board approved ditch-bill payments of $2,280.50 including engineering and beaver-trapping costs, and scheduled a landowner abandonment hearing for County Ditch 28 for March (board discussed March 4 as the preferred date).
The Murray County Board approved payment of ditch bills totaling $2,280.50, covering engineering work and beaver-trapping charges.
Presenter (speaker 7) said the bills include engineering fees for County Ditch 41 (Bolton & Menk) and a beaver-trapping invoice for County Ditch 26 (Rodney Johnson) reporting five animals at $75 each. Commissioner (speaker 5) moved to approve the ditch bills; the motion carried by voice vote.
Drainage staff (speaker 8) separately reported that landowners petitioned to abandon County Ditch 28, a small ditch north of Currie. Staff recommended scheduling an abandonment hearing and offered March 4, 11 or 18 as possible dates; commissioners indicated March 4 would work and agreed to set the landowner hearing in March.
Commissioners discussed the beaver-trapping process: staff inspects dams, documents conditions with photos and written petitions, and hires trappers if authorized; county payment authority requires the problem to be in a drainage system, a county highway, or a county park. The transcript reflects that the board approved the ditch bills and the hearing scheduling during the meeting.
