Flood Diversion Board of Authority—January 8, 2015 4 <br />The program provides low interest loans with a repayment period of up to 35 years. The <br />application fee is $100,000, and the intent is to work with Ernst & Young to complete the <br />application. <br />MOTION, passed Mr. Pawluk moved and Ms. Sobolik seconded to approve the <br />submission of an application for Federal Highway Administration <br />loans for eligible components of the FM Diversion project, and <br />approve the application filing fee of $100,000. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br />Voucher approval <br />The bills for the month are for government relation services with Fredrikson & Byron, <br />P.A.; legal services with Dorsey & Whitney LLP; 2nd Street North pump station work; 4th Street pump station work; and 2nd Street South floodwall work. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Peterson moved and Mr. Olson seconded to approve the <br />vouchers in the amount of $1,398,344.16 for December, 2014. On <br />roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> 11. OTHER BUSINESS <br />Mr. Mahoney discussed Senate Bill No. 2076 which would request the State Water <br />Commission to contract for a study on the impact of the diversion project. He referred <br />to the feasibility study completed by the Corps of Engineers and the MN EIS being done <br />by the MN DNR to consider the impacts of the project, and questioned the necessity of another study. <br /> <br />Ms. Otto asked for comments from Corps of Engineers staff regarding recent information <br />released by the MN DNR which concluded that retention projects are not a viable <br />alternative to the FM diversion project. Ms. Williams and Mr. Coleman said the Corps of Engineers is very confident in their work product and appreciate that another agency <br />has come to the same conclusion. <br /> <br />12. NEXT MEETING DATE <br />There was discussion regarding the next regularly scheduled meeting on February 12th, which is the same day that the Chamber of Commerce will be taking tour buses to the <br />State Capitol to meet with the legislators. Some board members may want to travel to <br />Bismarck that day. <br />MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Ms. Sobolik seconded to change date of the next meeting to Thursday, February 5th at 3:30 PM. Motion <br />carried. <br /> <br />13.
