From the meeting
At its September 29, 2026 meeting, the Steering Committee received comments from Jim Orr about Merriam Drainage District's control over Turkey Creek and its role in the long-running flood project with the City and the Corps of Engineers (COE). Orr said Congress had appropriated $30M to update the creek and warned about fiscal impact, maintenance, and tax base concerns tied to any new improvements. The committee did not approve a project item; the discussion ended when Mr.
Jackson moved to adjourn at 7:38pm, seconded by Mr. Leap, and unanimously approved.
