Collection on drains is stopped (01/23/06)
Jay County Commissioners
By By MARY ANN LEWIS-
The annual assessment for several ditches in and around Jay County will not be collected in 2006.
Jay County Surveyor Brad Daniels told Jay County Commissioners Faron Parr, Gary Theurer, and Milo Miller Jr. — meeting as the drainage board this morning — that several individual ditch funds have a balance of more than four times the annual assessment and, by law, no further collections can be made.
Daniels said some of those ditches assessments have already been discontinued. When the balance is “less than four times the annual assessment,” Daniels said, then that assessment will again be taken.
Ditches in Jay County that will not have collections made in 2006 include Abromson, A.G. Butcher, Harris Braner, Collins, Edmundson, Geesaman, Greaf, Arthur Grissell, Hiatt, William Hodge, W.H. Hood, P. Houts, Jones, J. Miller, McFarland, Hannah Rinker, Hotmire Redmond, Salamonie River, Shook, Wagner, Nelson Williamson, and A.J. Wilson.
Because ditches flow from and into surrounding counties, the decision also affects joint watersheds of Shook ditch (Blackford County); Harris Braner (Wells County); and McFarland, Hannah Rinker, and Hotmire Redmond (Randolph County).
Daniels said some ditches that have balances below the state requirements will begin to be assessed again in 2006. Those include Carder Creek, Dale Marsh, W.S. Manor, Ross and Days Creek, John Thornburg, and Halfway ditches all in Randolph County; Maringo ditch in Jay County; Brooks Creek in Blackford County; and Loblolly ditch in Wells County.
The board discussed ways to use the funds in these accounts, but Theurer said, “I hate to do it just to spend the money.”
Also today, commissioners approved a request from the Jay County Victims Advocate to apply for a continuing grant for $30,435 to pay the salary of director Amanda Hartman.
Commissioners’ attorney Brad Burkett said the grant includes health coverage for Hartman. He said in the past the request for that coverage has been turned down by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, which funds the grant through the United States Department of Justice.[[In-content Ad]]
