Votes and actions: objections considered, findings adopted, reconstruction ordered

The drainage board considered five timely objection letters (and several late letters) and took the following formal actions: motions to partially deny or deny individual objections (Tim and Kathy High; Tim and Joy Shaw; James and Cheryl Ealy; Marvin/Norman Amy Hart; Miles Smith) were made and carried; the surveyor's reconstruction report and schedules were accepted into evidence; proposed findings of fact were approved; and the board moved to accept the petition for reconstruction per the surveyor's recommendation.

The board also recorded that the county commissioners had approved $178,000 to be applied at the board's discretion for maintenance or reconstruction and agreed to acknowledge and consider late letters as part of the hearing record. Administrative staff were instructed to publish the final order of the board as required by the drainage code.
