6 <br /> <br />Regional Conservation Partnership Program <br />Kurt Lysne updated the Board on the RCPP – Upper Maple River Watershed Plan. Moore <br />Engineering, Inc. continues to discuss the Plan with the Natural Resources Conservation <br />Service (NRCS) and is updating property owners on the changes to the Plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Lysne next updated the Board on the RCPP – Rush River Watershed Plan. Moore <br />Engineering, Inc. is working with the NRCS on the finalizing processes related to the final <br />design of the project. Mike Opat indicated he discussed the opportunity for Houston <br />Engineering, Inc. to be involved in the final alignment of the levee for the project; however, <br />due to potential conflicts, Houston Engineering, Inc. believes it is in the Board’s best <br />interest to consult an independent party to provide perspective on the matter. The Board <br />discussed the matter with Ken Helvey, SRF Consulting Group, Inc. Mr. Helvey indicated <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. is interested in the possibility and has resources and <br />expertise within their company that could provide impartial economic and other <br />perspectives and could act as a liaison between property owners, the City of Amenia and <br />the Water Resource District regarding the final alignment of the levee for the project. Mr. <br />Helvey stated SRF Consulting Group, Inc. will gather more information on the project and <br />will bring a proposal to a future Water Resource District meeting for further discussion. <br /> <br />Weed, cattail, tree and brush control <br />Discussion was held on the bid received for spraying spotted hemlock in Cass County <br />Joint Water Resource District facilities.
