NOTICE OF HEARING
CHARLES McCLAMROCH JOINT DRAINAGE BOARD
WATERSHED ASSESSMENT HEARING
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
In accordance with Indiana Code 36-9-27-42, you are hereby notified of a proposal to increase
the annual maintenance assessment for the Charles McClamroch Watershed from $1.00 per acre
with a $5.00 tract minimum to $3.00 per acre with a $20.00 tract minimum on land within said
watershed. The current maintenance balance for the watershed is $3,441.78. The current yearly
assessment of $6,349.19 is insufficient to keep up with maintenance demands. Since 2020 the
annual maintenance of the watershed has averaged $6,937.88 per year. At the proposed increased
rate, the yearly assessment would be $21,937.57. The Surveyor’s Report and Schedule of
Assessments are available for inspection in the Clinton County Surveyor’s Office, 2 E
Washington Street, Suite 106, Frankfort, IN 46041.
A hearing on the proposed increase will be held at the Clinton County
Commissioners’ Meeting Room, 2 E Washington Street, Suite 105, Frankfort, IN 46041 on
Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 10:15 A.M. Unless written objection to the proposed
assessment increase is filed with the Surveyor on or before the date and time of said hearing, said
increase may become effective for assessments collected in 2027 and thereafter until the
maintenance balance reaches eight (8) times the annual assessment. At which time, in
accordance with Indiana Code 36-9-27-43, the assessment must be stopped until the maintenance
balance falls below eight (8) times the annual assessment. The hearing may be continued from
day to date certain without further notice.
