RESOLUTION NO. 2026-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY LINE DRAINAGE DISTRICT ADOPTING A FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 PROPOSED BUDGET; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Ms. Meneely presented the proposed fiscal year 2026/2027 budget and explained that it was largely a “status quo” budget with minimal changes from the prior year. The operations and maintenance budget remained consistent, and reserve allocations were adjusted to maintain the current assessment level.

Estimated available funds as of September 30, 2026 are approximately $125,000, in addition to approximately
$30,000 in reserve funds as of March 31, 2026. A carryover balance of $20,000 was also maintained consistently with the prior year.
Ms. Meneely further advised that because assessments would remain unchanged, property owner notices would not be required. Discussion ensued regarding prior legal expenses, which had increased in previous years but were now trending downward. It was also confirmed that the District had allowed its line of credit to expire, as it was no longer needed and incurred renewal costs.

The Board expressed general agreement that the budget reflected stable operations with no anticipated increases.

A motion was made by Mr. Fabry, seconded by Mr. McKenna and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2026-01, as presented.

Consider Hales’ Request for Fence/Gate Improvements to EH Ranch Property

Mr. Hales presented his request to expand fencing on EH Ranch to facilitate cattle operations. He described fencing additional acreage while maintaining access along primary roads and installing gates for cattle movement.

The Board reviewed maps and discussed road access, gate placement, and coordination with drainage features. Mr. Grandusky noted that fencing should maintain adequate setbacks from drainage ditches to allow maintenance access and that culverts could be installed if necessary.

Page 2 of 4

The Board confirmed that the proposal would not interfere with drainage operations and emphasized maintaining access and coordination with District infrastructure.

A motion was made by Mr. Fabry, seconded by Mr. McKenna and passed unanimously approving the Hales’ request for fencing and gate improvements, as presented.

MANAGER’S REPORT
Financial Report

Ms. Meneely presented the financial report included in the meeting materials. There were no questions from the Board.

FIELD REPORT

Mr. Aranda reported a structural failure of a culvert located along the main road adjacent to the primary north-south ditch. Temporary measures had been implemented to allow continued access. Discussion ensued regarding repair versus replacement, including installation depth and compaction. The Board directed the District Engineer to provide specifications and preferred repair if feasible.

A motion was made by Mr. Fabry, seconded by Mr. McKenna and passed unanimously authorizing repair or replacement of the culvert, as necessary.

Additional discussion included ditch spraying and road maintenance, including the need to crown roads and limit herbicide use in cattle areas.
ENGINEER’S REPORT

Mr. Grandusky provided an update on the Henry County ditch improvement project and coordination requirements.

Discussion occurred regarding an easement matter. District Counsel advised that the final judgment would be re-recorded with the legal description attached.
The Board also discussed obtaining a driveway permit to establish visibility of the easement.
There was consensus of the Board for Counsel to re-record the easement and for the Engineer to pursue a driveway permit.
ATTORNEY’S REPORT
Mr. Behn advised that the easement documentation would be re-recorded with the legal description attached and noted minimal legislative changes.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
