Metro Flood Diversion Authority—May 23, 2019 3 7. LAND MANAGEMENT Committee report The Land Management Committee met on May 22nd. Property Acquisition Status Report Mrs. Scherling discussed the Property Acquisition Status Report, which is updated monthly and shows the status of all parcels required for the project. She said the information is helpful to understand all the land purchases taking place and to monitor their progress. Ag Impacts Study – Realignment of Storage Area A revised assessment of the agricultural risk of temporary water storage needs to be done as a result of the realignment of the storage area outlined in Plan B. NDSU will conduct the assessment and will examine economic losses due to planting delays on lands that may experience flooding from operation of the project and identify plant acreages and lost input sales. Mr. Grindberg said no action is needed as the Co-Executive Directors have approved the revised assessment. 8. FINANCE UPDATE Committee report The Finance Committee met on May 22nd. Mr. Grindberg said the committee had some questions regarding financial status and budget status figures included in the report. Kent Costin, City of Fargo Finance Director, said the fiscal agent report tracks encumbrances (open contracts) while the annual cash budget report prepared by the PMC does not include this information. The reason for a different figure on the fiscal agent financial status report compared to the PMC report is because other items are included in the fiscal agent report, i.e. a contract with Oracle America to provide program management software services for the project. MOTION, passed Mr. Grindberg moved and Mr. Peterson seconded to accept the financial report as presented. Motion carried. Voucher approval The bills for the month are Cass County Joint Water Resource District (CCJWRD) for costs associated with the Metro Flood Diversion, OHB levee, and in-town levees; Dorsey & Whitney for legal services; Ohnstad Twichell, P.C. for legal services; and FEMA for the Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) review fee for Plan B. MOTION, passed Mr. Grindberg moved and Mr. Steen seconded to approve the vouchers received through May 17, 2019, in the amount of $2,532,080.80. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
