Board approves roughly $161,000 in transfers to highway fund; ditch parcel flagged for review
Summary
The county approved transfers to the highway fund from district assessment and ditch accounts totaling about $161,828 (FAD $144,620.58; SAD $13,007.94; county ditch $4,200.36). Commissioners asked the county engineer to review a specific ditch (Ditch 13) before summer.
The Crow Wing County Board approved several routine transfers to the highway fund for 2024 work performed by the highway department on behalf of assessment and ditch districts. The county engineer presented the requests: a transfer from the FAD (district assessments) totaling $144,620.58; a SAD district transfer of $13,007.94; and a county ditch transfer totaling $4,200.36. The board moved and recorded unanimous aye votes to approve these transfers.
During discussion a commissioner asked the county engineer to place Ditch 13 on a future agenda for review before summer. The engineer and a commissioner described the ditch's route (through Lake Edward Township, under the Paul Bunyan Trail and toward North Long Lake) and clarified the transfer covers labor, equipment and other minor maintenance costs. The county engineer stated, as transcribed, "this year's the 2024 request for transfer is a total of $144,620.58." Some line-item cent amounts in the transcript contain transcription artifacts; the article reports the totals as presented.
