5 <br /> <br /> <br />River Aqueduct and Sheyenne River Aqueduct. The range of options were compared to <br />a series of engineering and land criteria to identify a proposed concept. <br /> <br />The determination was made to line the riverbank with root wads, particularly on outside <br />river bends, to reduce water velocities, reduce erosion potential, and provide aquatic <br />habitat. The trees to be used for root wads need to be about 12 to 18-inches in diameter <br />with relatively straight trunks resulting in a root ball with structurally sound roots that <br />extend to about 6-feet in diameter. Along the Sheyenne River, trees will be removed to <br />construct the benches and these trees will be used to provide root wads. However, <br />additional trees with root wads from offsite sources will be required. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith is requesting the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Tree <br />Removal Agreement with the property owners of OIN 1113 to source and remove the <br />necessary trees from the property. <br /> <br />Manager Gust moved to approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the Tree Removal <br />Agreement with the property owners of OIN 1113, to source and remove the necessary <br />trees for the Sheyenne River benching mitigation project regarding the Metro Flood <br />Diversion Project. Manager Steen seconded the motion. Upon roll call vote, the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Maple River Dam – current conditions <br />Brady Woodard reported there is some water in the backwater pool area of the Maple <br />River Dam from the recent rain events. <br /> <br />Maple River Dam – prescribed burn <br />Mr. Woodard discussed a proposed prescribed burn of the Maple River Dam to improve <br />and encourage new grass and vegetative growth. The quote for the prescribed burn is <br />$12,500, with a tentative completion of late July. <br /> <br />Manager Weston moved to authorize Moore Engineering, Inc. to hire a contractor to <br />complete a prescribed burn of the Maple River Dam, not to exceed $12,500. Manager <br />Gust seconded the motion. Upon roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />2024 maintenance levy assessments <br />A motion was made by Manager Steen and seconded by Manager Gust to approve the <br />Cass County Joint Water Resource District maintenance levies at the following levels for <br />2024: <br />• Maple River Dam: $0.60 <br />• Lake Bertha Flood Control Project No. 75: $0.50 <br />Upon roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Bills <br />It was moved by Manager Steen and seconded by Manager Weston to approve payment <br />of the wire transfers, as presented. Upon roll call vote, the following Managers voted in
