JD2 JURISDICTION UPDATE
Drainage Inspector Colby Palmersheim gave a brief update regarding JD2 (Judicial Ditch #2) Jurisdiction. Mr.
Palmersheim met with the Buffalo-Red River Watershed District and Otter Tail County Auditor-Treasurer
Wayne Stein to clarify JD2 Jurisdiction. Since acquiring the Wilken County Ditches in 2014, Buffalo-Red River
Watershed District now holds all JD2 financial accounts and all approval goes through the Buffalo-Red River
Watershed District Board. The Otter Tail County Drainage Authority does not have authority over decisions
regarding JD2. The Buffalo-Red River Watershed District does have an MOU contracting Otter Tail County
services for inspections.

At 10:36 a.m., Chair Johnson declared the Otter Tail County Drainage Authority meeting adjourned. The next
Drainage Authority meeting will immediately follow the next regular Board meeting on Tuesday, April 11, 2023,
at the Government Services Center in Fergus Falls and via livestream.
