Don Reffer from B & W Control Specialists met with the board to discuss brush control in county drainage districts. B & W performed brush control in several drainage ditches in the county in 2009 and the treatments were very effective. Reffer presented quotes for five drainage ditches to be treated in 2013: $7500 for Drain 9-13 (joint drain with Greene County), $6500 for Drain 102, $8500 for Drain 109, $10,000 for Drain 77, and $1000 for Drain 86-150 (also a joint drain with Greene County). B & W will work on a time and materials basis not to exceed the quoted amount. Reffer noted that if the county has a signed contract with B & W Control Specialists, the county would be covered by B & W’s liability insurance. County Engineer Dave Paulson will provide a contract for the board’s review at their next meeting.

Engineer Paulson reported the Hungry Canyons survey results were positive for a low-head dam structure. Paulson and John Thomas from Hungry Canyons looked at two sites, and due to cost it was decided to pursue a grant for one site. The proposed structure would be constructed near 330th Street between Sections 30 & 31 in Ewoldt Township. Dean Lorenzen from West Central Iowa Rural Water Association was in attendance and expressed his support of the project. WCIRWA has six wells upstream of the proposed structure and water levels would be positively impacted. Paulson estimated the cost of the project at $330,000. If the grant application is approved, 80% of the cost would be paid by Hungry Canyons and 20% by Carroll County. Lorenzen indicated that West Central Iowa Rural Water Association may be willing to participate in the county’s 20% cost of the project. Motion by Meiners, second by Danzer to authorize County Engineer Dave Paulson to apply for a Hungry Canyons grant. On roll call, all voted aye. The low-head dam project which would aid in stream bank erosion, protect the county bridge on 330th Street, and improve water levels in West Central Iowa Rural Water Association’s wells.

Maple River residents were in attendance to discuss making a donation to the county from funds collected by the West Side Sewerline of Maple River. The donation would be used to pay down the USDA loan for the Maple River Wastewater System. There was disagreement among the residents as to the amount of the donation to the county and who was authorized to make the decision to donate funds. The residents have a meeting scheduled tonight to discuss these issues. Motion by Nieland, second by Bock to table Carroll County Resolution No. 2012-013 for one week. On roll call, all voted aye.
