Jags struggle at
District Golf
By Coach Conrad
After easily advancing out of their Sectional Qualifier at Carroll, our SE Valley golfers traveled to Lake Panorama Golf for their District play, and a shot at making
the State Tournament. Unfortunately, the team struggled
on this day, and fell short of their goals of making the
State trip.
Despite their struggles the Jags had a very successful
season. They took both second place in the teams conference dual season, and also second in the conference
tournament.
They became the 10th team in the Coach Conrad era
to advance out of sectionals. They complied a 40 win and
15 loss season. Conner Conrad and Keegan Goodwin
tied for low stroke average at 40.1 strokes per 9 holes.
Each earned multiple medals throughout the season.
Logan Boerner captured individual titles at Sectional
play, and also the Southeast Valley invite.
Josh Johnson finished in 6th place at the conference
tournament. Spencer Johnson brought home a couple individual medals, and Koltan Lundberg rounded out this
years letter winners. The teams 164.1 stroke average was
5th best all time of a Coach Conrad team.
With three juniors and a sophomore returning, next
year also looks quite promising for Southeast Valley golf.
The team played with pride, and earned respect from all
other teams and coaches. The communities of Southeast
Valley should be quite proud of these men and their accomplishments.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Regular Meeting
May 19, 2015
The Board of Supervisors met in Session on the above date with
the following members present: Singer, Fletcher, Dencklau, Campbell and
Leffler. Absent: None.
Moved by Leffler, seconded by Campbell to approve minutes of the
May 12, 2015 regular meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Singer to receive and place on file
Drainage Repairs for D.D.#34, Branch B.
Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Singer, seconded by Fletcher to approve Cigarette
Permit for Coalville Stop-N-Shop, effective July 1, 2015. Motion carried
unanimously.

Moved by Leffler, seconded by Campbell to receive and place on

unanimously.
Moved by Campbell, seconded by Singer to approve request from
the City of Moorland to abatement of interest and penalty in the amount of
$345.00 against Parcel Number 0912382002; a Tax Sale Deed was issued
to the City December 5, 2014. Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Singer, seconded by Fletcher to adopt the following
Resolution:
Whereas, the Des Moines Waterworks has filed suit under the Clean
Water Act against drainage districts in Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac
Counties, and;
Whereas, the suit would seek to regulate agricultural practices which
are currently exempt from regulation under the Clean Water Act, and;
Whereas, the suit, if successful would impose regulatory burdens
upon drainage districts and the landowners in those districts, and;
Whereas, the suit, if successful, would require drainage district
trustees to exercise powers that are not legally available to them under
existing state law, and;
Whereas, the suit would irreparably harm drainage rights, operations
and row crop production in this county, and;
Whereas, it is recognized that the suit, while filed against a small
number of districts would, if successful, be applicable to all districts in Iowa
and in other states, and;
Whereas, it is recognized that a strong legal defense must be made
against the lawsuit, and;
Whereas, it would be in the best interests of Iowa counties to directly
support the legal defense of the drainage districts in Buena Vista, Calhoun
and Sac Counties and to have the Iowa Drainage District Association
participate in the case if requested by Belin McCormick Law Firm, the
attorneys retained by Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac Counties, in order to
represent the interests of all drainage districts in Iowa.
Now, therefore be it resolved that the Webster County Board of
Supervisors pledges financial support to help fund the legal defense of
the drainage districts in Buena Vista, Calhoun and Sac Counties; and it
is understood that IDDA will disperse said monies as approved by the
Defense Fund Committee as agreed to by the counties and IDDA.
Now, therefore be it further resolved that the financial support will
be in the amount of $5,000/year for the three years payable to the IDDA
litigation fund for the legal defense of the drainage districts in Buena Vista,
Calhoun and Sac Counties. If the lawsuit is resolved in a prompt fashion
and the second or third years of the financial support is not necessary, the
IDDA board will notify the county that the additional financial support is not
necessary.
Dated this 19th day of May 2015.
