MEMO <br />TO: Chris Volkers and Steve Larson <br />FROM: Andrew G. Pomroy <br />DATE: August 15, 2019 <br />SUBJECT: F-M Diversion, legislative update 8-15-19 <br /> <br /> We now have a schedule for the House Capital Investment Committee tour for the Moorhead area on September 5. <br />MOORHEAD: <br />11:15 – 11:30 pm stop at the 11th Street RR grade separation - presentation on bus Travel time: 15 minutes <br />MOORHEAD: <br />11:45 – 1:00 pm - Minnesota State University Moorhead for tour, lunch and presentations • Clay County Recovery Center • Community and Aquatics Center <br />Leave Moorhead and take a flood tour through Perley and Hendrum on way north <br /> The committee’s next stop is 2.5 hours away in Thief River Falls and they are scheduled to be there at 3:30pm. I have a call with Moorhead city staff on August 20th to work out the details of <br />where the tour should drive to highlight flood projects in and around the city of Moorhead and <br />the logistics of getting people on and off the bus and returned to their vehicles parked at MSU Moorhead. As is typical with these tours, any elected officials, city/county staff, or other relevant people are encouraged to attend. They are likely welcome to great the legislators as they arrive at MSUM, to join for lunch and ride the bus with the committee. The presentation on the bus will <br />likely be given by Bob Zimmerman, but that is TBD on the call next week. <br /> There is no word yet out of the Senate on when they will be touring. <br />I did not hear back from the Department of Agriculture staff that I reached out to in response to <br />the Commissioner’s inquiries about the project.
