Summary

The board authorized staff to work with outside counsel and county engineers to schedule and notify the public for a partial abandonment hearing concerning County Ditch 70 (NW 0.25 Section 28, Township 149, Range 48).

Polk County acting as drainage authority for County Ditch 70 authorized staff to coordinate with outside counsel and the county engineer to set a date and public notices for a partial-abandonment hearing.

A staff member said the petition concerns the northwest quarter of Section 28, Township 149, Range 48 and that scheduling logistics were difficult for outside counsel. The board approved a motion allowing staff to set the hearing date and handle required notifications so the hearing could proceed when parties and counsel are available.

Commissioners were briefed that the staff-set date would still follow statutory notice requirements and that the board would receive hearing materials in advance.
