Metro Flood Diversion Authority—January 30, 2020 2 <br /> <br />reflect Plan B; securing remaining rights-of-entry for Southern Embankment design in North <br />Dakota and Minnesota; FEMA approval of the Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR); <br />and negotiation of the scope for Phase 2 Flowage Easement Valuation study. <br /> <br />Mr. Paulsen discussed long-term priorities, which include additional outreach to upstream <br />property owners; assistance with legal efforts for the June contested case hearing; and <br />issuance of Draft 5 of the P3 RFP’s in May. <br /> <br />7. CORPS OF ENGINEERS UPDATE <br />Terry Williams, Project Manager from the Corps of Engineers, provided an update, which <br />include pile driving and load testing at the Diversion inlet structure construction site; <br />preconstruction conference for the Wild Rice River structure; physical modeling of the Red <br />River structure design; geotechnical borings and ongoing design to incorporate Plan B into <br />the Southern Embankment; and design review of I-29 road raise by Houston-Moore Group <br />to begin in March. <br /> <br />Mr. Grindberg asked if the Corps’ project is on time and within budget. Ms. Williams said the <br />project is both on time and within budget. <br /> <br />8. ADMINISTRATIVE/LEGAL UPDATE <br />WIFIA events update <br />Attorney John Shockley provided a monthly update on the schedule of events associated <br />with the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan through the <br />Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Finance <br />Committee discussed this issue at its meeting yesterday, and approved to hire Eide Bailly to <br />conduct the audit for the Diversion Authority. Fargo and Cass County both have three years <br />of financials completed to submit with the application. Mr. Grindberg said a policy will be <br />developed to include a RFP process for the future, but considering the application deadline, <br />the Finance Committee approved to move forward with Eide Bailly. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Grindberg moved and Mr. Campbell seconded to approve the hiring <br />of Eide Bailly to conduct an audit for the Diversion Authority.
