It is <br />Darrell W <br />Vanyo important to note at the current time, there are NO funds available for the HMGP <br />. program. Cass County is submitting a letter of intent to apply for funds and will be <br />West Fargo, North Dakota retaining the services of Lake Agassiz Regional Council to determine eligibility and <br /> priority placement with the county and state multi hazard mitigation plans. <br />Robyn Sorum <br />Horace, North Dakota There are no plans to guarantee any homes will be accepted as an eligible project. <br /> Each parcel must have an individual review. Once a parcel is successfully <br /> purchased, it becomes property of local or state government for perpetuity and can <br /> never be built on again. <br /> Since the Cities of Briarwood and Oxbow are incorporated, Cass County's plan <br /> would not necessarily include them in the buyout process. Each city could submit a <br /> grant application on their own and should take steps at this time to determine how <br /> they wish to proceed. <br />If the incorporated cities of Briarwood or Oxbow determine it maybe in their best <br />interest to work with the county program, the governing body of each city should <br />send a letter to the Cass County Commission detailing their desire to be a part of _ <br />the county process. <br />Please let us know of your decision when you are able. <br />Heather Worden <br />Commission Assistant <br />Box 2806 <br />211 Ninth Street South <br />Fargo, North Dakota 58108 <br />S' erely, <br />.~-~- <br />Robyn Sorum, Chair <br />Cass County Commission <br />cc: Cass County Commissioners <br />Bonnie Johnson <br />Dave Rogness <br />Keith Bemdt <br />Frank Klein <br />Mike Montplaisir <br />Birch Burdick <br />Irv Rustad <br />701-241-5609 <br />Fax 701-241-5728 <br />www casscounrygov com <br />
