1. Fargo Municipal Airport Authority/funding request

HECTOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY Of THE CITY OF f ARGO July 5, 2006 RECEIVED JUL 62006\ CASS COUNTY COMMISSION Dr. Vem Bennett Chairman - Cass County Commission P.O. Box 2806 Fargo, North Dakota 58108-2806 Dear Chairman Bennett, Thank you for taking time to attend the Municipal Airport Authority board meeting that was held June 13,2006. As you are aware, Mr. JeffVolk from Moore Engineering presented the Airport Authority with three options to address the ongoing bank slides along Cass Country Drain 10 at 32nd Avenue North in Fargo. Mr. Volk presented the options following an earlier presentation to the Southeast Cass Water Resource District board. The Airport Authority decided to pursue gathering additional information related to the lowest cost project option presented by Mr. V olk. This option is estimated to cost $640,000 and involves the relocation ofa portion of Drain #10. Mr. Vol.k indicated SE Cass would be able to fund approximately $230,000 of the estimated cost that leaves a $410,000 balance. The majority of this cost involves the replacement of the drain crossing that is currently a bridge structure. The proposed project eliminates the current bridge structure and replaces it with dual box culvert section to maintain the 32nd Avenue North crossing capability over Drain 10. Mr. V olk advised that SE Cass would not be able to participate in the cost of the crossing. Mr. Volk has proposed that the Airport Authority would be responsible for $240,000 of the estimated cost with Cass County contributing $170,000, or approximately 40%, of the cost associated with the section line crossing over the drain. Mr. V olk conveyed that this is based upon information referenced in the North Dakota Century Code Section 61-21- 32. I have enclosed a copy of the estimate Mr. Yolk provided to the Airport Authority dated June 9, 2006. P.O. Box 2845 Fargo. ND 58108 701-241-1501 Fax 701-241-1538
