Administrator Nelson commented that this was a good effort to correct a problem that could be serious; he felt the County's share of $2,738 for clearing Canal D was appropriate. Engineer Jim Davis explained the easements and the drainage situation of the canal. Commissioner Wodtke wondered why the owners of the canal would not maintain it and if they were not going to maintain it, then the County needs to obtain title. Engineer Davis stated that this has been a problem a number of years. Commissioner Fletcher asked if this canal was owned by the Drainage District but did not drain the Drainage District land. Engineer Davis responded affirmatively. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the location of the canal and the boundaries; Commissioner Lyons suggested that this item be tabled in order for the Attorney to study this matter. On Motion made by Commissioner Wodtke, seconded by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously agreed to table this item until it could be researched, and that it be brought back before the Board and that a representative from the Sebastian River Drainage District be present at the time. 15 JAN 2 0 198 , �Qox 46 PAGE 568 L
