CITY ADMINISTRATOR\u2019S REPORT:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

David Schelkoph said the city hosted the meeting on March 18th to make sure all of the key agencies including North Dakota Emergency Management, and local authorities including the Corps of Engineers, are on the same page if the city needs to declare an emergency and mobilize their flood fighting efforts.<\/p>\n

He said the city is looking at a medium to moderate flood event, based on current snow melt, and snow to moisture content.<\/p>\n

He said the city has reduced the need for sandbags after several properties that are located near the river have been a part of the flood buyout process over the last seven years.<\/p>\n

He said the city had NOT issued a flood emergency at this time.<\/p>\n

He added that the state legislature has approved the bill and is going to the governor for his signature that allows funding for infrastructure projects from oil taxes, called the Prairie Dog Bill.\u00a0 He said under the anticipating funding, Valley City stands to gain $3 million to $3 and a half million dollars in funds.<\/p>\n

He added the State Water Commission approved funding that will allow $11 million over the next biennium to Valley City for phase four funding of the Permanent Flood Protection and part of Phase five, designing.<\/p>\n
