SUMMARY: Authority given to organize under 70 ILCS 605 Illinois Drainage Code: "Drainage districts may be formed to construct,
maintain or repair drains or levees or to engage in other drainage or levee work for agricultural, sanitary or mining
purposes". Three commissioners typically owning land within the drainage district are appointed by the County Board
Chairman and by majority vote of the County Board. One commissioner is appointed every year for a three year term such
that commissioners serve staggered three year terms beginning and ending on the first Tuesday of September every third
year. All previous appointment terms have expired. One previous appointee is willing to be reappointed. The two new
appointments are long time land owners in the District. The District boundaries include a portion of the Village of Big Rock
north and south of Wheeler Road about a mile east of Dauberman Road, however the area is completely farmed with no
residential or other type of subdivision. The District lies entirely in Big Rocklownshipand in County Board District 5 (Taylor).
The district has the ability to levy and collect taxes, and must show the drainage benefit to landowners for special
assessments and annual taxes. The commissioners are responsible for keeping the district owned drains and other works of
the District in proper operation and repair.
