Craig Ocanson, representing county property and environmental resources staff, told the Blue Earth County Drainage Authority on Oct. 21 that engineers submitted an acceptance report for repairs on County Ditch 1 and that contractual work by the contractor has been completed.
Ocanson said County Ditch 1 drains roughly 2,572 acres, predominantly in McPherson Township. He asked the Drainage Authority to set a contract acceptance hearing for Nov. 18, 2025, at 9 a.m. in the Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners room on the second floor of the Blue Earth County Historic Courthouse building.
A commissioner moved to set the hearing date and a second was recorded. The board voted by voice and the chair announced the motion carries.
Context: The acceptance hearing will provide a formal opportunity for the Drainage Authority to consider the engineer's acceptance report and any public comment before final acceptance of the repair contract.
