Summary

At a joint meeting with Osceola County, supervisors reviewed three landowner letters, heard interest in a surface-area waterway and an outlet cleanout, and directed ISG to finalize the engineer report after a two-week hold conditioned on supervisor–landowner discussions.

The Joint Drainage District 6 meeting between O’Brien and Osceola counties, called to order at 10:47 a.m., focused on landowner input about cost options for proposed drainage improvements.

Supervisors reviewed three landowner letters; one landowner attended at the Osceola County location. Osceola supervisors reported multiple landowners raised concerns about cost and interest in a surface-area waterway option and an outlet cleanout at the end of the waterway. The record does not include technical cost figures.

On a motion by Supervisor Dan Friedrichsen, seconded by Supervisor Mike Schulte, the board accepted the preliminary engineer report and directed ISG, after a two-week hold, to finalize the engineer report. The minutes state that finalization will be determined by the result of discussions between a supervisor from O’Brien and a supervisor from Osceola and the landowner who filed the petition; the motion carried by all ayes.

The two-week hold provides time for direct discussions with the petitioning landowner before ISG completes any final design recommendations or assessment proposals.
