BoardBlue Earth County Board of Commissioners Board Meeting
The board meeting addressed two final hearings regarding drainage systems. The first agenda item focused on the redetermination of benefits for County Ditch 59, involving an explanation of the viewer process and public testimony regarding assessment concerns. The second item involved a petition for the removal of property from County Ditch 77 under Minnesota statute 103E.805, where staff, viewers, and engineers presented reports on the impact of a wetland bank on drainage benefits and the necessity for an adjusted assessment rate rather than full removal.
