Rick Anderson presented the board with a plan for a proposed alternate route from Hwy 2 east of Mauvais Coulee to Hwy 281. Anderson explained the reason why this route was chosen. Gene Hager stated that by using this route, nobody would be isolated should the lake rise to 1455′. Maintenance of the route was discussed. Hager commented that Benson County would be responsible for maintaining the portion of the roadway located in Benson County. He questioned whether or not pipes could be installed on the current Hwy 281 route north of Howard Dressen’s rather than a bridge. Dave Leftwich said this may be a possibility. Kevin Fieldsend informed the board that Ramsey County passed a motion to use the current Hwy 281 north of Howard Dressen’s rather than going with the proposed alternate route. Hager stated he believed this plan would be best for all involved. Leftwich indicated he would look into the ND DOT paying 15% of the costs involved for the alternate route.
The board reviewed maps of what portion of Hwy 281 would be covered with water if the level of the lake rose to 1460′. A motion was made by Hvinden, seconded by Brown, to not use the portion of the proposed alternate route lying east of the current Hwy 281. Rather, the current Hwy 281 route 4-1/2 miles north from the junction of Sec. 26, 25, 35 & 36 in Normania Township would stay in use along with three miles of roadway west of the junction of Sec. 26, 25, 35 & 36 in Normania Township. All members voted yes. The motion carried unanimously.
The board reviewed the Construction Engineering Services Agreement submitted by Wold Engineering on Project No. CER-3607(058). A motion was made by Hvinden, seconded by Ripplinger, to have the chairman sign the agreement. All members voted yes. The motion carried unanimously.
Laura Every and Curt Jacobson of REAP met with the board and explained the impact the REAP zone has on Benson County and the benefits received.
Jason Lee left the meeting at 11:50 a.m. The meeting was turned over to vice chairman Ripplinger. Dwain Brown left the meeting at 11:55 a.m.
Meeting adjourned.
