Flood Sales Tax Committee—April 18, 2022 4 <br />Maple River Township Slide Repair <br />Maple River Township is requesting a 75% cost share of the total project cost of $60,000 or $45,000 <br />to fund a road realignment to move the road 40 feet away from the Maple River on 46th Street <br />Southeast. <br /> <br />City of Mapleton Flap Gate <br />The City of Mapleton is requesting a 75% cost share of the total project cost of $80,000 or $60,000 <br />to fund a flap gate retrofit on two storm sewer outfalls along the Maple River. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Steen moved and Ms. Madrigga seconded to approve the projects Gill Township Slide Repair, Durbin Township Slide Repair, Everest Township Slide Repair, Maple River Township Slide Repair, and City of Mapleton Flap Gate at a cost share of 75% for each project. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. City of Casselton Slide Repair <br />Brandon Oye, City of Casselton Engineer from Moore Engineering was present to discuss a request <br />for a slide repair on the Swan Creek Diversion at two Casselton lagoons. He said the project was <br />identified by the city public works department and the total project cost is estimated at $850,000 and <br />the City of Casselton is requesting 75% of the total project cost or $637,500. He said they are pursing <br />State Water Commission funds for slope stabilization at a 50% cost share. Mr. Oye said it is hard to <br />predict when the slope will give out and the largest risk is in the spring. He said the City attempted to <br />get funds from the Governor’s Fund and was unsuccessful due to the unknow timeframe the slide <br />would have an immediate threat or failure. <br /> <br />Mrs. Scherling asked if the Swan Creek Diversion has any guarantees that it won’t fail. Mr. Oye said <br />there are factors of safety and there was another localized failure due to loose soil. Mr. Steen asked <br />who constructed the Swan Creek Diversion. Mr. Oye said it was a joint project with the Maple River <br />Water Resource District, Rush River Water Resource District, and City of Casselton. Mr. Steen asked <br />if it is considered a legal drain. Mr. Oye said it is part of the Water Resource District and the direction <br />from the Board was for City of Casselton to come up with a solution and the State Water Commission <br />will consider funding. <br /> <br />Mr. Steen said the Flood Sales Tax Committee should wait to approve a funding amount until after <br />other funding has been pursued. <br /> <br />Cass Highway 81 Slide Repair <br />Mr. Soucy said the Highway Department has been monitoring the movement of a slide located on <br />Cass Highway 81 along the Wild Rice River. He said many of the issues of the slide involve utilities <br />and a home in the area. He said the total project cost is $1.5 million and the Highway Department is <br />requesting a 75% cost share or $1,125,000. He said the Highway Department will pursue additional <br />funding from the State Water Commission and City of Fargo. <br /> <br />Mr. Steen suggested the Highway Department pursue the additional funding opportunities before the <br />Flood Sales Tax Committee commit to a funding amount. <br /> <br />6. ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:20 PM. <br /> Minutes prepared by Taylor Kaushagen, Commission Assistant
