The Day of Review is an opportunity to review the Wallace Intercounty Drain Drainage District boundaries and for a review of the apportionment of benefits for the Drain. A map of the current Drainage District boundaries – and the proposed Drainage District boundary revisions, if necessary – may be found on the Ingham County Drain Commissioner’s website at drain.ingham.org and on the Livingston County Drain Commissioner’s website at www.milivcounty.gov/drain.

A licensed professional engineer has recommended lands be added or removed from the Drainage District, and a general description of the lands by section number proposed to be added or deleted from the Drainage District is as follows:

Municipality	County	Portions of Sections Added/Removed
Leroy Township	Ingham County	13, 24
Handy Township	Livingston County	18, 19

 

The Drain Commissioners, engineers, and/or other staff members will be available to assist individuals throughout the day and make revisions where necessary. There is no need to schedule an appointment for a specific time on the Day of Review. Written statements may be mailed or emailed to the Drain Commissioners at the postal or email addresses listed above. Comments submitted in advance must be received by the Drain Commissioners before the date of the meeting to ensure consideration.

The computation of costs for the Drain and the tentative apportionments against the parcels and municipalities within the Drainage District will be available at the Day of Review. Drain assessments are collected in the same manner as property taxes and will appear on your winter tax bill. If drain assessments are being collected for more than one (1) year, you may pay the assessment in full with any interest to date at any time and avoid further interest charges. Comments on the apportionment of benefits may be submitted in writing before the date of the meeting to review the apportionment or may be submitted in writing or orally at the review.

Persons with disabilities needing accommodations for effective participation in the Day of Review should contact the Drain Commissioners’ Offices at the phone numbers listed above (voice) or through the Michigan Relay Center at 7-1-1 (TTY) at least 24 hours in advance of the Day of Review to request mobility, visual, hearing, or other assistance. 

You may appeal the Drain Commissioners’ decision to revise the Drainage District boundaries to the County Circuit Court within ten (10) days after the decision is entered, and you may appeal the determination of apportionments to the Probate Court within ten (10) days after the Day of Review.
