AKRON, INDIANA
DRAINAGE PLANS
The Drainage Plans were approved with a retaining wall and also without the retaining wall.
There were problems of obtaining the easement to do the project without the retaining wall, so
the original plans are what they are working with now. The Surveyor and Chairman had signed
the agreement prior to today’s meeting in order for them to proceed with the project.
The Drainage Board signed a copy of the original plans with today’s date in order to signify
those plans are being used for the project.

SURVEYOR’S MAINTENANCE REPORT
Project would consist of brushing one bank and excavation of the channel to the original grade
for approximately 15,920 feet on the Main ditch; 15,147 feet on Arm #2; 7,482 feet on Arm #3;
and 2,120 feet on Arm #4; for a total of 40,669 feet of open ditch maintenance. Ditch would be
set up on a spray program.
Estimated total cost of project: $333,010.00
4 Year assessment period with annual estimated maintenance of $83,252.50.
Proposed maintenance rate: $7.25 per benefited acre with a $10.00 minimum for 4 years, then
Drainage Board could review after the fourth year and possibly lower the rate to $2.00 per
benefited acre with $10.00 minimum for general maintenance.
Signed petition received in the Surveyor’s office on January 26, 2010.
There was discussion that most of the landowners in this watershed are currently paying on the

CLAIMS
There was discussion about a contractor not turning in claims for bid work and repair work for
the County. Letters had been sent and the one letter came back unclaimed.
After further discussion, Chairman, Roger Rose, stated the Contractor has been officially notified
of the problem and at some point the Board needs to withhold the awarding of projects to said
contractor in order to enforce the notification.
Drainage Board Attorney, Greg Heller, stated he is not aware of any statute of limitation for
invoicing, but suggested the Secretary contact the State Board of Accounts and see if they know
of any statute of limitation for submitting claims.
Being no further business to come before the Board, Sherry Fulton made a motion to adjourn at
11:22 A.M. D.S.T. Stanley Musgrave seconded the motion. Motion carried three to zero.
