Flood Sales Tax Committee—April 18, 2022 2 a retaining wall and the total project cost is approximately $2,059,583 and Normanna Township is <br />requesting 90% funding for a total request of $1,900,875. He said the high cost is difficult for the <br />township to cover, even with 90% funding. <br /> <br />Mrs. Scherling asked if there are any other funding sources available. Mr. Soucy said there is a <br />possibility that there may be funding through the State Water Commission. Mrs. Scherling asked if <br />the retaining wall will work in this area as she has seen the wall stabilization not work in the past. She <br />asked what the cost of moving the road would be. Mr. Soucy said the wall stabilization has risks and <br />should work to fix the issues for this project. He said it would be costly to move the road and there is <br />not enough land available to move the road and decrease the slope. <br /> <br />Mrs. Scherling asked if the erosion has been speeding up recently. Normanna Township Supervisor, <br />Tyler Odegaard was present and said trees began to fall into the river beginning after the 2019 fall <br />flood. Mr. Steen discussed the other two proposed solutions and both cost over $4 million. Mr. <br />Odegaard said it is impossible for the Township to complete a project of this amount due to the <br />Township’s limited ability to raise the mill levy and there are no other funding sources. <br /> <br />Kurt Lysne from Moore Engineering said the State Water Commission has a policy that will cover <br />50% of funding for bank stabilization for public infrastructure and said the Township would qualify. He <br />said the funds are not guaranteed but are available to be applied for. Mr. Odegaard said he and the <br />Township will pursue the funding from the State Water Commission. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Steen moved and Mr. Wilson seconded to approve the Normanna Township Bank Stabilization project at 90% of the local cost share contingent upon the State Water Commission approving 50%. Motion passed. <br /> <br />Lilleberg Buyout <br />Chad Lilleberg, property owner of 17373 26th Street Southeast in Argusville was present and <br />proposed a buyout of his property due to riverbank slumping on the Red River that has caused him <br />to lose part of his garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Steen asked if the request is for the building acquisition and demolition, not for the purchase of <br />the land. Mr. Lilleberg said that is correct, the project would be to demolish the home and he would <br />keep the land. Mr. Soucy said the land would be deed restricted to prevent further building or <br />development of parcel. Mr. Lilleberg said the home sits on 32 acres of land and he owns the <br />surrounding parcels. Mr. Steen asked if the entire 32 acres would be deed restricted. He said his <br />concern is that if another home were built on the property, there would be similar issues in the future. <br />Mr. Lilleberg said the entire parcel would be deed restricted. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Steen moved and Ms. Madrigga seconded to approve the Lilleberg Buyout at a cost share of 90%. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br />Walburg Township Drop Culverts <br />Ryan Anderson and Jon Baumler, Township Supervisors for Walburg Township were present to <br />discuss a request for a 100% cost share for three drop structures needed along 45th Street Southeast <br />near Chaffee. Mr. Soucy said there is a 20-foot drop in less than a mile and the drop strictures slow <br />down the water flow. He said if this is not fixed now, it will cause larger issues and will cost significantly <br />more in the future. <br /> <br />Mrs. Scherling asked why this is not a Water Resource District project. Mr. Soucy said this is not a <br />legal drain and was given to the Township years ago as it is in the Township’s road right of way.
