(Spirit Lake)– With the flood of nearly a year ago still fresh on everyone’s minds, there’s some anxiety among some with the two to nearly four inches of rain that’s fallen across most of the region over the past couple of days. Some of that was apparent at today’s (Tues.) Dickinson County Board of Supervisors meeting stemming from ongoing delays and requests for additional details, mostly by FEMA, for the bridge project at the Lower Gar Outlet. Supervisor Steve Clark said provided the required permits were granted for the bridge, he would like the county to put a “contingency plan” in place in an effort to prevent a repeat from a year ago…
Clark went on to clarify his comments that referenced “debris”…
County Engineer Jeff Rose said he’d be willing to make the necessary contacts in researching such a plan. Supervisor Chairman Bill Leupold said he wants assurance there wouldn’t be any potential legal ramifications with such a plan.
