They <br />are concerned about dyer bank erosion threatenin§ their home. Mr. Berndt said <br />in 1992 the county replaced a bridge over the river with a box culvert and <br />additional sheet piling was installed in 1998 to curtail erosion that was occurring <br />downstream from the culverL He noted the culvert does not appear to be <br />aligned well with the channel and may be contributing to bank erosion by <br />directing the water toward the bank. <br /> <br />Mr. Bemdt discussed several options, including repairing the river bank and <br />purchasing the home. The owners said they purchased the house in 2001 for <br />around $160,000. They would prefer the county buy the home. <br /> <br />Mr. Wieland is concerned about homes to the north if the river bank is not fixed. <br />Mr. Bemdt is confident the county could repair the slide. He prefers the county <br />try to repair the problem and then discuss future options with the owners. Mr. <br />Wieland would like a few members from the Road Advisory committee as well as <br />a member from Southeast Cass Water Resource District look at the site and <br />discuss the options. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed <br /> On motion by Mr. Wleland, seconded by Mrs. Serum and <br /> all voting in favor, the meeting adjourned at 2:10 PM. <br /> <br /> <br />
