Judge Issues Ruling In West Okoboji Harbor Drainage Dispute

February 21, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Spirit Lake)– A district judge has ruled in favor of a drainage district in a dispute over who’s responsible for repairing a tile line in the West Okoboji Harbor area. There had been an ongoing disagreement between the district and the West Okoboji Harbor Lot Owner’s Association as to who actually owned the failed line. The dispute eventually wound up in court and County Attorney Steve Goodlow says the ruling was filed February 10th…

“Since it’s an adverse ruling toward the West Okoboji Harbor Lot Owners Association, they have 30 days from February 10th if they choose to appeal it. We’ve not seen a notice of appeal yet that I’m aware of, but they do have that 30 days. We obviously, it’s Judge Mayer who did the ruling and we are obviously in agreement with her decision.”

Goodlow reported on the ruling as part of today’s Board of Supervisors meeting.
