Board hears repeated drainage, levee and bridge repair updates for Big Muddy and Little Nemaha sites
Summary
Over multiple meetings in 2010 the board received updates from Mainelli Wagner & Associates and levee district representatives on tile damage, bridge closures, and repairs at Big Muddy and Little Nemaha sites; the county approved bridge inspection work and recorded reimbursements.
Mark Mainelli of Mainelli Wagner & Associates and county road staff repeatedly updated the board in 2010 on damage and repair needs at the Big Muddy sites and Little Nemaha River levee district areas. Property owners reported seepage and tile damage; Mainelli and county consultants discussed repairing buried tile, bridge load rating, and required inspections.
The board approved a quote from Mainelli Wagner & Associates for bridge inspections at $113.50 per structure (63 structures noted) and accepted reimbursements received from Johnson County and NRD for Big Muddy projects. Claims and correspondence entries list ongoing obligations: bonding company follow‑ups for contractor completion, NDOR bridge inspection program correspondence, and technical emails about load rating corrections for specific structures.
Commissioners recorded public comments from affected property owners—who said roads and access were impaired when bridges were closed—and directed staff and consultants to continue work, file necessary NDOR forms, and pursue reimbursements. The record shows the county treated these matters as ongoing infrastructure maintenance tied to disaster impacts.
