A board member reported a deep erosion problem in the ditch near Locust Street and Walnut and said they consulted Eric Eckert for material recommendations.
The member said Eckert suggested "served rock" to hold the bank and prevent further washouts; the report described the erosion as "real deep" about 15 to 20 feet up the hill and warned someone could be injured if they fell into the area. The board discussed the potential scope and asked for cost information and follow-up from staff or Mr. Eckert to bring a concrete proposal with estimated loads and pricing.
No funding decision or purchase was made at the meeting; the item was discussed as part of routine public-works updates and the board asked a staff member to obtain cost estimates before approving any work.
