Board to be formed to review Corps findings after Coffeyville advances administrative fee
Summary
The board asked staff to form a temporary Verdigris River Drainage District No. 1 board made up of local residents and stakeholders; the temporary board will receive the Corps' itemized estimate and decide whether to proceed with any local commitments.
Members agreed to recruit a temporary drainage‑district board to represent the people and taxing entities affected by the Verdigris levee. Presenters emphasized the need for local representation so that decisions about possible levies or cost distribution are made by those who live in and govern the district rather than by the county commission alone.
A presenter said he had already prepared redlines to the draft agreement and expected to sign when the temporary board authorized Coffeyville to act as the district's representative for the administrative fee. The chair and members directed staff to prepare notices and to hold a public forum on July 30 so prospective board members and affected stakeholders can attend and participate.
