3.B.3. Wahoo Creek Dam Sites Cultural Resource Investigations
Rationale:
On March 27th, Mountford met with FYRA and NRCS State officials on coordinating required activities for the Wahoo Creek flood reduction dam planning. At the meeting, the pros and cons to complete the required cultural resource investigations in April and May before planting activities begin were discussed (see attached e-mail from Mike Sotak, FYRA). Elisha Mackling (NRCS Cultural resources specialist) agreed to conduct investigations for Wahoo dam sits 26 & 27, but would not have time to investigate other sites this spring. This means that we will need to hire a firm to complete cultural resources for other selected dam sites. Considering both pros and cons, the committee and staff agreed it best to not rush the process and wait until next fall to hire a firm to complete other needed investigations after the additional dam sites locations are determined.

3.B.4. FYRA Wahoo Creek Dam Sites 26 & 27 Planning Invoice
Rationale:
After the Projects Committee met, we received the attached $4,817.50 invoice from FYRA Engineering for work completed on Wahoo Creek sites 26 & 27 planning. Since this is under a Board approved contract, no motion for payment is required. After this payment, there will be $23,554.07 remaining on our initial $135,790 contract.

3.B.5. FYRA Wahoo Creek Watershed Invoice for Remaining Watershed Planning
Rationale:
Attached is the first FYRA invoice received April 2nd, totaling $27,128.75, for work completed under contract to complete a watershed plan for other potential Wahoo Creek floodwater reduction dams. During this invoice period, FYRA developed and calibrated the hydrologic model, coordinated with NRCS/USACE, planned for and attended our scoping meeting, and worked with NRCS and NeSHPO to develop language for the archeological survey RFP. Since this is under an approved contract, no Board motion is required. After this payment, $547,861.25 will remain on our $574,990 contract with FYRA. NRCS will reimburse us for this expense. A planning meeting with LPNNRD, FYRA & team, Saunders County, & NRCS was held on April 5th to discuss the schedule for moving forward with Wahoo Creek planning to discuss location feasible dam sites. An update can be given at the Board Meeting.
