# Drainage Board Meeting - November 10th, 2026

The Delaware County Drainage Board meeting on November 11, 2026, included opening bids for ditch and drainage-brushing work across multiple projects. The board discussed DigTek LLC’s low bids on several jobs and whether its capacity and performance were sufficiently known; members also noted the need to balance potential savings to assessed landowners with contractor reliability. Recorded votes awarded No Name Creek No. 1 and Williams Creek No. 2 to DigTek, Boil/Royals Ditch No. 5 to JJC Excavating, Elwood Reese Ditch No. 6 to DigTek, and Graham Ditch No. 9 to Butler Masonry. The board tabled the Ferguson Ditch No. 4 and Wilhelm Ditch No. 8 awards until the next meeting. The transcript also records a motion to award Hyatt Ditch No. 10 to Butler Masonry, but does not clearly capture a vote. Bid amounts in portions of the transcript are garbled, though DigTek’s Williams Creek No. 2 bid is stated as $28,320.

The board discussed adopting a written contract for the awarded work, including a proposed 20% provision related to nonperformance. After legal guidance, members unanimously authorized the surveyor to have the contractor sign the board-approved contract before work begins; the contract was to be circulated for review. The board also heard a property owner’s drainage concern, but staff said the suspected drain was not regulated and maintenance was outside the board’s authority. No update was available on FEMA funding for log-jam work.
