YOU AND EACH OF YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that the Trustees of the Nagel Drainage District have employed Caleb Rasmussen, PE of ISG as an engineer to make surveys and investigations to determine repairs necessary to remove debris in order to maintain proper operation of the levees. The Nagel Drainage District has applied for federal cost share through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that the estimated construction costs to be assessed to the district are not expected to exceed the competitive bid threshold and therefore no engineer’s report has been made (468.126.1.c). As such the Board of Trustees has directed the engineer to obtain competitive quotations, which will be considered following this hearing. The estimated cost of repairs, as well as expected funding cost share, is summarized below. Debris Removal Project Costs Subtotal: $497,300.25 Federal Cost Share (75%): -$372,975.19 State Cost Share (10%): -$49,730.03 Estimated District Cost: $74,595.04 YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that the Board of Trustees of the Nagel Drainage District has fixed a time and place of hearing on said proposed repairs, on April 16, 2022, at 9:00 AM, at the Drianage Office, Monona County Court House at 610 Iowa Avenue in Onawa, Iowa. At said hearing the Trustees shall hear objections to the feasibility of such debris removal as may be presented by and for any landowner in the District.
