Flood Sales Tax Committee—October 2, 2017 3 Mr. Montplaisir said if no state water funds are available and this committee provides a 50% project match each residence would be responsible for approximately $22,000 in special assessments. Mr. Opat said that is a worst case scenario that will be discussed with residents. <br /> Jake Gust of the Cass County Joint Water Resource District said residents in the Sheldon Addition requested to be on the protected side of the diversion but were told the option was too costly. Mr. Gust said he believes residents are entitled to a cost share greater than 50% and this addition warrants special treatment, similar <br />to the community of Oxbow. Mr. Olson said he would like to see funds continue to be sought from the state for this project, but he is comfortable providing a local cost share of 50%-75%. Hopefully funds can be secured from the state and the local cost share will be <br />greatly reduced. <br />MOTION, passed Mr. Olson moved and Mr. Montplaisir seconded to approve the Sheldon Addition Ring Levee Project for 75% of the local share, up to $462,750. On roll call vote, the motion carried <br />unanimously. Casselton Storm Water Improvements Project Engineer Brandon Oye of Moore Engineering said the City of Casselton has submitted a request for funding assistance for project costs associated with a city <br />storm water detention pond and lift station, which will directly benefit a proposed residential development and improvements to Central Cass School. After speaking with Mr. Benson, Mr. Oye understands that this committee may only wish to provide a local match for the school’s assessed portion of the project. MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Olson moved and Mr. Wilson seconded to approve the Casselton Storm Water Improvements Project for up to 50% of the local share for the school’s assessed portion. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> 7. OTHER BUSINESS <br />Project cost adjustment requests Mr. Oye said he would like to request two adjustments to previous funding requests that have been approved by this committee. The Casselton Industrial Parks <br />Improvements Project approved in 2015 is expected to cost around $25,000 more <br />than previously anticipated; and the Casselton Map Revision Project approved earlier this year is expected to cost around $5,000 more than previously anticipated. As both projects have a 50% cost share the request is for an additional $12,500 and $2,500, respectively. <br />MOTION, passed Mr. Olson moved and Mr. Wilson seconded to approve additional appropriations in the amounts of $12,500 for the Casselton Industrial Improvements Project; and $2,500 for the Casselton Map Revision Project. On roll call vote, the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> Mr. Montplaisir requested that written documentation of this request be supplied.
