The Warrick County, Indiana Drainage Board meeting of November 9, 2026, approved the October 26 minutes and claims (transcribed as totaling $100). It approved a $5,771.98 utility-pipe invoice for project materials; staff said this was the lower of two proposals. The board also approved a $7,035 first payment to Baker Tilly under its previously approved $20,000 contract for work on the stormwater rate fee. Both invoices were approved by motion and vote. The board approved a request for no drainage improvements at Kelly Lake Estates 2. It also granted an extension, through November 24, for a response to a pre-litigation notice concerning a drainage issue.

Ranger Power representatives discussed the Little Ben Solar project and the county’s drainage-plan requirements, including independent review, runoff studies, flood-event analyses, and tile-drain concerns. No project approval or procurement decision was made; county staff planned further review with the project team and an engineering consultant. A separate property owner requested consideration of an existing creek crossing, but the board took no action pending an additional site review. The discussion underscored that future commercial and solar projects will need detailed drainage documentation and may be subject to independent technical review.
