2.A.1. Mike Chvatal Small Dam Approval
Rationale:
At the June 12, 2017, Board Meeting, the board approved increasing Mike Chvatal's small dam approval from a maximum of $16,742.31 to $22,000. This increase represents approximately 50% of the total contractor estimate of $43,758.75. Mr. Chvatal commented that the maximum amount that he could personally provide toward the dam would be around $10,000, which would represent about 23% of the total contractor's estimate. A question came up if we can add funds from our newly approved grants for Wahoo Creek Phase II to make the project feasible for the landowner. Mountford contacted NDEQ who indicated that while the new approved funding was to be focused on three lower Wahoo Creek sub-areas, NDEQ would allow there funds to go into Cottonwood Creek Watershed sub-areas if the Board desires. If a maximum of 75% cost share was approved, LPNNRD total assistance would be $32,819.06 ($22,000 LPNNRD local funds and $10,819.06 Wahoo Phase II grant funds. Committee discussion and possible recommendation is requested.
Recommended Motion(s):
*To approve 75% assistance toward the Mike Chvatal Dam up to a maximum of $32,819.06 total assistance ($22,000 LPNNRD funds & $10,819.06 Wahoo Creek grant funds) Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

5.A. Hazard Mitigation Plan Update: 9:00 a.m.
Rationale:
As discussed last month, LPNNRD has been involving with leading a District-wide Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) for our communities and three of our counties for several years. While we are a year away from needing to start the plan update process, JEO has learned that while there is upcoming grant money available to update plans this next fiscal year, there may not be in a year from now. What JEO is suggesting is that we apply for 75% assistance now to begin our HMP update process in Fiscal year 2019. As part of our application, there is an opportunity to also apply for non-structural flood protection measures plan for interested communities at the same time (i.e. Fremont, Schuyler). JEO has discussed this with with Fremont and Schuyler and both are interested to be part of our application for assistance to complete a non-structural flood prevention planning approach. As of now, our application would request 75% ($150,000) of of a total project cost of $200,000. Several city representatives from Schuyler and Fremont were present to show their support in being part of our HMP application.
Recommended Motion(s):
To apply for Hazard Mitigation funding from FEMA for 75% assistance on a $200,000 effort for updating LPNNRD's Hazard Mitigation Plan ($75,000) and for Flood Risk Reduction Plans for Fremont, Schuyler or other communities ($125,000) Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
