Board approves Panhandle tile assessment at $20 per acre
The Blackford County Drainage Board approved an assessment for the Panhandle tile installation, setting the rate at $20 per acre, no minimum, to be repaid over eight years.

Committee member (Speaker 2) estimated the assessment ‘‘brings in roughly 2,200, a year’’ to cover the installation costs. The motion was made, seconded and approved by recorded voice vote of 3-0.

Board members confirmed notifications had been sent and that no property owners appeared to contest the assessment. The board did not enumerate parcel counts; members said the eight-year interim would spread costs to reduce immediate impact on landowners.

Staff will finalize assessment documents and provide notifications to affected property owners.
