Drainage board budget discussed; crew fund use and account balances questioned

Noble County Commissioners · August 18, 2026

Summary

Randy described drainage board operating costs, upcoming rate hearings and shared crew expenses; commissioners noted a disparity in reported fund balances and asked staff to reconcile the numbers.

Randy summarized the drainage board budget, listing routine expenses such as meeting pay, books and fuel, and said the board will have "rate increase hearings" tied to periodic maintenance. He noted some crew‑related chemicals and stump‑spray costs have been paid from the crew fund and reported an on‑the‑record spend of "$2,851.75" on the current side of the ledger.

During account review, participants produced two different balances for the work crew fund (fund 2601): Randy stated the balance as "$172,431.57," while another participant read "$224,001.59." Staff said they would look further to reconcile the discrepancy. Commissioners discussed how much of future chemical and crew costs should be drawn against the fund and whether reductions were possible if crew availability decreased.
