DITCH #28, STONY ARCH BRIDGE Ditch Inspector, Tiny Holm, provided photographs of the Stony Arch Bridge in the Ditch #28 Drainage System. Holm explained that the bridge is in disrepair and if the stones from the bridge fall into the creek, Otter Tail County will be responsible to clean it out. County Attorney, Wally Senyk, reported that this is a privately owned bridge constructed before March 25, 1947, therefore, the Ditch Authority may assume responsibility for maintenance. Holm questioned where the money would come from if a clean-out is required. Holm read a letter received from the Dead Lake Property Owners Association informing the Board that the owner is willing to donate the land and another private landowner is willing to donate $50,000 toward the preservation of the bridge as an 11 Historic Landmark11 • Holm explained that preservation of the bridge would cost more than $50,000 and the message that Otter Tail County did not have funds available for this use was conveyed to the Historical Society. Holm asked if an assessment to each ditch to provide money for beaver clean-out and ditch maintenance would be a possibility? The Board directed the Ditch Inspector and the County Attorney to work on a plan to provide funds for beaver control and ditch maintenance without redetermination of benefits and return to the Board.
