Memorandum of Agreement with Rice Creek Watershed District for Judicial Ditch No. 2 Maintenance In June 2012, the City of Hugo entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for the maintenance of Judicial Ditch No. 2 for five years, to expire on December 31, 2016. The City performed maintenance on the ditch to ensure proper drainage and was reimbursed by the RCWD at a cumulative total of $200,000 over the past five years. The City wishes to continue minor maintenance of the ditch, and it is agreed by the City and RCWD there are administrative and other benefits if the City does. City Engineer Mark Erichson explained there were minor changes to the agreement. The RCWD is asking for an annual work plan and budget for submission to the District for review and approval. Mark had spoken to the District and they explained it would be a low level work plan, and they would like to budget for additional funds if necessary. Another change is a requirement for documentation of costs prior to payment. City Administrator Bryan Bear stated they had discussed the dollar amount with the District at previous workshops. The City does not believe the $200,000 will be sufficient to finish the ditch maintenance through the next five years, and RCWD has encouraged the City to develop a work plan and present an amended dollar amount for the next renewal of the agreement if needed.
