The purpose of the meeting is to hear comments from any affected landowners on the proposed drainage works, as set out in the Drainage Report, filed by Josh Warner, P.Eng., of  R. Dobbin Engineering Inc., dated June 1, 2020 for the Curtis Drain.

The Drainage Superintendent provides an update since the notice was mailed to the affected landowners and two inquires were received.   He notes the first inquiry recently purchased a home within the watershed and was surprised to receive the notice.  The Drainage Superintendent explained to the landowner the Drainage Act and how it affected his property.  

The second inquiry was in regards to an assessment concern resulting from the recommendation to lower two culverts.  The Drainage Engineer, Josh Warner, provides details of the two culverts, and advises that this process is consistent and assessed the same as other culverts implemented on the Curtis Drain.

There are no delegations presented to Council.
