-- Use.
(1)Owners in a district may be employed on maintenance work and their work credited
against their maintenance assessments, within the discretion of the board or the
drainage commissioners. In part or full payment for the work, printed credit slips
shall be issued by the president of the board, the drainage commissioner and the
treasurer of the district, each slip showing to whom issued, the date and hours of
work, whether day labor, teams or otherwise, materials supplied, location of work
and any other information the board considers proper. Before becoming valid, the
credit slips shall be approved by the board and made a part of its records. Rates of
pay shall not be greater than current for similar work in the locality. The work shall
be distributed among the landowners as equitably as is economically possible, but
economy shall be the first consideration, and only satisfactory workers shall be
employed.
(2)At least twenty
(20)days before the maintenance assessments are due all credit slips
shall be sent to the treasurer and proper deductions made for them from the
maintenance assessments. The board shall report to the sheriff the deductions to be
made, and a copy of the report shall be retained in the minutes. The board may
authorize the treasurer to receive money payments to make up the balance due on
maintenance assessments. The sheriff shall collect the remainder of the assessments
in the regular way. The board may, at its discretion, permit transfer of credit slips
from one
(1)owner to another, and the use of credit slips in other than the year in
which the work was done. Otherwise the credit slips shall be valid only in the year
in which the work is done. Credit slips shall not be used in payment of other than
maintenance assessments.
