The Final Ditch 2141-Myers hearing was held with Rod Creager sharing info. “A single ditch petition was filed by Craig Myers in 2019, proposing a single 24 inch drainage outlet pipe, abandon both old clay tiles, new catch basins as needed one basin, install parallel header tiles to connect existing lateral drains – new tile would follow closely to the current tile.”
Commissioner Joe Short asked what percentage over would this improvement be able to handle and Creager replied that it would not be much extra capacity. “if a new development happened to in, there would not be enough capacity to handle that.
For this project we are looking at a total cost of $159,884.12, as a one time assessment.” This would typically be assessed over five years to pay it on the taxes, according to Commissioner Jon Rupp. Creager gave them the two possible options for installation, one being that an excavator would be used and there would be a need for a stone bedding which would add $28,200 to the cost.
The second option would be using a Trencher, with no stone bedding, fewer compaction and a GPS controlled laser. He said he prefers the Trencher option for this project.
Approved by the Commissioners at the Tuesday, April 6 meeting, were:
-Minutes of the April 1,2021 and payment of bills
-Increase and transfer of Appropriations for Various departments
