Delaware County Drainage Board Board Meeting

The meeting addressed the status of the Selma open ditch, which remains tabled due to ongoing coordination with local authorities. A local resident offered trenching and maintenance services, and the Board outlined the necessary vendor requirements, including insurance and equipment lists. The main discussion focused on the potential separation of the Abe McConnell watershed into an individually managed account. The board evaluated the financial feasibility of managing smaller watersheds separately, the need for potential assessment rate increases, and the necessity of consulting with financial advisors to navigate the fiscal complexities of managing fragmented watershed accounts.
