SF 2055 – Drainage districts financing
FLOOR ACTION:
SF 2191 increases the amount to be paid in a single warrant from $1,000 to $5,000 for drainage district projects. Each month, estimates of work done in the previous month on a drainage district project are submitted to the auditor. The auditor then draws up warrants, which are currently limited to $1,000 per warrant to pay the contractor. Over the years, the costs of contractor work have increased, but the Iowa Code has not been updated. The change will allow auditors to write fewer warrants while still paying contractors in a timely manner. [2/25: 49-0 (Feenstra absent)]
