# Drainage Board Meeting 11-10-26

Grant County Drainage Board meeting, November 10, 2026: The board approved payment of two claims, including one from IMI Aggregates (the transcript references $151.55 and $41,749.32, but the amount and purpose are unclear) and a $50.94 claim from the Chronicle Tribune. It also approved GeoWorks, formerly Vittrion, to survey the entire Elliott Drain and prepare its legal description and easement documentation for a not-to-exceed amount of $5,000. The work is expected to include field verification and mapping known laterals. For Big Black Creek, staff discussed having Extreme Excavation, already contracted through a bid for south-side brushing, handle north-side brushing for less than $4,000 while on site; the transcript does not record a formal vote on that additional work.

At a public hearing, the board approved proposed Jefferson Drain assessments: $5 per acre, $25 per homesite, $5 per parcel, $100 per commercial structure, and $50 per hard-surface runoff assessment, with a four-year collection period and an estimated annual assessment of $19,907.76. The funds are intended to support drain maintenance; discussion identified tree and log-jam removal and channel work as potential needs. MacCreek rate analysis remains underway, and no hearing date was set. The board also deferred other claims because of a quorum issue.
