LAKE AGASSIZ REGIONAL COUNCIL, Financial award for flood assistance A memo dated July 8, 1994, was received via the Road Department from Mark Sovig, Lake Agassiz Regional Council, concerning financial award for flood-related assistance to protect the Mark Smith and Robert Peterson properties along the Reed and Raymond Township line. At a meeting held earlier today, the County Road Advisory Committee discussed the road which provides access to the above properties. County Engineer Keith Berndt said the Road Advisory Committee recommends sponsoring the project activities with a 25% local match from the property owners. Jeff Volk, Moore Engineering Company, said this is a three-phase project for flood control which involves protecting the two properties and raising the road on the township line. He said Keith Berndt has discussed the project with the township officials and they are in agreement with the concept of raising the road and participating in the local cost. Property owners Gail Smith and Robert Peterson spoke to the Commission at this time requesting consideration of in-kind services for their contribution to the project. This is agreeable with the Commission if the property owners can substantiate a reasonable cost for their time and effort on the project.
