Board hears update on Drainage District #9 repairs after tile obstruction found
Summary
Supervisors were told Downing Excavating identified an "800–1,000 tile obstruction" in Drainage District #9, believed to be in CRP ground; wet conditions have delayed repairs and staff will coordinate with Secondary Roads Superintendent Tim Laube and the contractor on a timeline.
Supervisor Frank Rottinghaus updated the Floyd County Board of Supervisors that Downing Excavating located an "800–1,000 tile obstruction" in Drainage District #9 and that wet field conditions have delayed repair work. Rottinghaus said the obstruction is believed to be on CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) ground, which may complicate access and repair timing.
Mike Quade presented photos showing open holes and a single tile carrying water and asked the board for a repair timeline. Rottinghaus said he will communicate with Secondary Roads Superintendent Tim Laube and the contractor to establish next steps and a schedule. The minutes record the request for a timeline but do not record a firm completion date or formal directive beyond coordination with staff and the contractor.
The item remains an ongoing infrastructure matter for the board and county maintenance staff. Further updates and a repair timeline are expected once field conditions permit contractor access and the county finalizes logistics with landowners and program administrators if CRP land is involved.
