# 11-02-2026 Morgan County Drainage Board

The Morgan County Drainage Board meeting on November 2, 2026, approved its minutes and considered bids for Solder Ditch dredging, from the west edge of Second Street south for approximately 700 feet. The transcript mentions an Alchini Excavation quote of $79,500 and discussion of gas lines; the board then voted to accept an Anderson bid, and the motion passed. The accepted bid amount is not clear in the transcript. The board also discussed work on Hillale Cemetery Ditch and a request to obtain bids for dredging Cemetery Ditch south of Artisan Avenue; the transcript does not clearly record the outcome of that request.

The board received an update on the stormwater/MS4 program and discussed the effects of state legislation, including House Bill 1001, on local planning authority, development, detention ponds, and downstream drainage impacts. Members raised concerns about meeting stormwater responsibilities and potential unfunded mandates. No specific related spending action was recorded.
