2.B. Wahoo Creek Watershed
Rationale:
Saunders County Supervisor Larry Mach was present to offer his support toward on working with LPNNRD for constructing flood water damage reduction structures in the Wahoo Creek Watershed. He particularly supported pursuing the construction of Wahoo Creek Dam Site 26 which would replace a damaged county bridge. Mountford reviewed LPNNRD past, current and future flood water damage reduction efforts in the Wahoo Creek watershed and plans to meet with county representatives to prioritize potential county, NRD and landowner projects.
A long discussion took place for budgeting additional funding for placement in our established Wahoo Creek and Shell Creek sinking funds for future flood water damage reduction projects. Further discussion took place that we should pay off our existing Sand Creek Enviromental Project debt (Approximately $1.2 million) before building up our sinking funds for future projects.

To budget funds in FY17 for paying off our existing Sand Creek Environmental Restoration Project indebtedness and to place future project reimbursements from NDNR into our Wahoo Creek and Shell Creek sinking funds for future flood damage reduction projects Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

4.A.2.a. Additional Assistance Payment to Schuyler
Rationale:
At the June 13th Board meeting we approved our annual assistance payment to Schuyler for the completed Shell Creek Levee Project. Upon reviewing past payment records last fall, it appeared that Schuyler owned half of a $50,000 payment we made to the Army COE for completing Schuyler's 205 Study in 2011. With this belief, we deducted $25,000 from this year's budgeted $125,000 annual assistance and approved a $100,000 payment. As 2011 information was gathered to accompany with our $100,000 check, we discovered that while Schuyler did not write us a $25,000 check to reimburse us half of the subject 2011 expense , they did send a check for $5,513.07. Looking deeper, the Army COE reimbursed LPNNRD $38,973.85 at that time for pre-paid local study funds not used. Since half of this money was Schuyler’s, we simply deduced $19,486.93 from the $25,000 the City owed, and they paid us the remainder. With this new information the committee is asked to recommend paying the remaining $25,000 that is in our current FY 2017 budget for this project assistance. After this payment, we will have contributed a total of $375,000 toward the construction of the Shell Creek Levee. The Board has previously approved that our intent is to provide up to $600,000 toward Shell Creek Project construction efforts.
Recommended Motion(s):
*To approve payment of the remaining FY 2016 budgeted amount of $25,000 to the City of Schuyler toward the construction expense of the Shell Creek 205 Levee Project Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

4.D. Bathometric Survey for Lake Wanahoo
Rationale:
As discussed last month, we have been thinking about completing a bathymetric survey and sediment analysis of Lake Wanahoo and its wetlands. The information and data collected from these surveys can serve multiple purposes including: • Estimating watershed erosion rates • Water quality modeling • Estimating future reservoir sediment maintenance requirements (increasing lost capacity) • Projecting reservoir longevity • Informing the public on general reservoir conditions • Fishery management. Mountford has contacted NDEQ and will provide $7,500 grant assistance to complete this work. During discussion, the committee asked that the wetland area directly above road "O" be included with the proposal. Lake Tech has indicated that this could be added for an additional $500 which raises the total proposed cost to $11,252. This means $3,752 will be required from LPNNRD. Paul Brakhage and Jon Mohr with Lake Tech will be present to discuss their proposal. Committee review and possible recommendation is requested.
Recommended Motion(s):
To approve budgeting $11,252 for completing a bathymetric survey and sediment analysis of Lake Wanahoo. To further approve hiring LakeTech and authorize the Board Chair to sign the attached contract to complete this work subject to obtaining $7,500 grant assistance from NDEQ Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
