In the Matter of Keystone Township v. Red Lake Watershed District, Paul Novacek, et ...

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the Red Lake Watershed District was authorized to conduct improvement proceedings for Polk County Ditch 39 without first taking over the ditch and that the district’s procedures, although not strictly compliant with every Drainage Code requirement, sufficiently conformed to the statutory scheme; consequently the Court of Appeals’ reversal of the district court’s summary‑judgment ruling was affirmed.
