Metro Flood Diversion Authority—August 22, 2019 5 <br /> <br />8. PUBLIC OUTREACH UPDATE <br />Committee report <br />The Public Outreach Committee did not meet this month. Mr. Olson said outreach regarding the <br />Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) is important to keep the public informed. <br /> <br />Mrs. Scherling said there still appears to be some confusion with the public regarding Plan A <br />and Plan B for the Diversion project. Mr. Olson said the committee has discussed holding public <br />meetings to address this issue. <br /> <br />MetroCOG Recreation Plan <br />Joni Giese, SRF Consulting Group, was present to discuss the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion <br />recreation plan. The Metropolitan Council of Governments (MetroCOG) and the Metro Flood <br />Diversion Authority teamed up with SRF Consulting, Contour Design Studio, and HR&A to <br />develop the Fargo-Moorhead Recreation Plan. The diversion project will provide flood <br />protection, but also has the potential to provide a wide variety of year-around recreation <br />activities. Plan goals include restoring native plants and creating a habitat, providing an <br />interconnected system of recreational features including trails, and complementing adjacent <br />existing or planned land uses. She discussed the operations and maintenance funding for the <br />recreation project, which will include traditional grants and public funding. She said recreation <br />activities may also generate revenue. <br /> <br />9. LAND MANAGEMENT <br />Committee report <br />The Land Management Committee did not meet this month as there were no action items to <br />consider. Mrs. Scherling said work continues with land acquisitions and appraisals. <br /> <br />Eric Dodds from AE2S said 300 parcels have been acquired to date, and the next few months <br />will be critical with negotiations on certain properties needed for the project. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell and Mr. Judd said the Moorhead-Clay County Joint Powers Authority (MCCJPA) <br />has held its first two meetings to begin the process of acquiring the necessary property rights in <br />Minnesota for the project. <br /> <br />Property Acquisition Status Report <br />The Property Acquisition Status Report is updated monthly and shows the status of all parcels <br />required for the project. The information is helpful to understand all the land purchases taking <br />place and to monitor their progress. <br /> <br />10. NEXT MEETING DATE <br />The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 26, 2019. <br /> <br />11. ADJOURNMENT <br /> MOTION, passed <br />On motion by Mr. Peterson, seconded by Mr. Campbell, and all voting in <br />favor, the meeting was adjourned at 4:54 PM. <br /> <br /> Minutes prepared by Heather Worden, Cass County Administrative Assistant
