Board tables drainage‑ditch cleanout to June as town seeks easement clarity
Summary
The Utility Service Board voted unanimously May 19 to table a drainage‑ditch cleanout proposal until June so staff can identify whether the town or private easement holders are responsible for maintenance and to gather more details.
The Town of Dayton Utility Service Board voted unanimously May 19 to table consideration of a drainage‑ditch cleanout until the June meeting so staff can determine whether responsibility lies with the town (right‑of‑way) or with private easement holders.
Board members noted concerns about stormwater backing up in town if the ditch is not cleared. Mike Harris moved to table the proposal to allow staff to gather more information about property rights and responsible parties; Steve Schuhle seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Residents who spoke during the public‑comment portion raised questions about the easement and the town’s intended use of the ditch; the board reiterated the item will be revisited in June after staff research.
