Le Sueur County initiates redetermination of benefits for six county ditches after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing the board adopted findings and initiated redetermination of benefits for County Ditches 2, 31, 34, 53, 56 and 57; several landowners provided oral and written comments.
The Drainage Authority of Le Sueur County moved to initiate redetermination of benefits (ROBs) for County Ditches (CD) 2, 31, 34, 53, 56 and 57 following a public hearing July 7, 2026. Dani Ongie, the county—s Auditor-Treasurer, presented the initiation and the record of notices; attorney John Kolb (Rinke-Noonan) provided procedural context. The board recessed the regular meeting to hear public comment, then closed public comment and adopted the Findings & Order initiating redetermination for the listed ditches.
Public commenters who spoke on specific ditches included Lois Fogarty (42660 Kilkenny Rd) on CD 31; Clarence Mager (35002 Mager Ln) and Dorothy Knish (42135 Kilkenny Rd) on CD 53; Tom Nuessmeier (34895 277th Ln) on CD 56. A written comment from Greg Schwartz (30012 Lexington Rd) was noted for CD 56, and a Teams comment was made by Jerome Illg. The minutes record initiation of the redetermination process but do not record changes to benefit apportionments; the next steps will follow the redetermination process described in county and state drainage statutes.
