Chris Botz gave us an update on Bald Hill Dam and the outflows right now.  Concern was for the rain event happening this weekend will depend on flow plus local flow may affect the crest and over land flooding.

 

Tracy Eslinger gave an update if we would crest at 18’ we would need to place the flood wall on the Hwy 27 bridge. It would take approximately 4-6 hours to get the walls up.   He provided a map and elevation chart and the protection at each levee. He stated to have heavy equipment lined up and sand.

 

Tim Meyer reported about the situation of the riverbank at the entrance of the ND Vets home, this will need to be addressed after the river levels stable out.
