Landowners and county commissioners met jointly as the Yankton‑Clay and Clay Creek Ditch Boards across 2017 to review fund balances, invoices and maintenance. The boards approved keeping the Yankton‑Clay levy at 8% and the Clay Creek levy at 40% for 2017 payable 2018 after local landowner consensus.
The Clay Creek Ditch Cleanout Project Phase 3 generated a contractor payment request; commissioners approved payment to Jerke & Sons Construction (payment(s) totaling $53,459.33 and additional follow‑on invoices later in the year). Landowners discussed tree removal and the potential for additional phases; the ditch boards recorded fund balances at each meeting and authorized further seasonal maintenance such as herbicide spraying and spot excavation.
