County approves $3,500 cost share for Adler‑Moraine maintenance
Summary
Nelson County agreed to contribute $3,500 toward a $21,000 Adler‑Moraine maintenance project after a presentation from the Nelson County Water Board; the board also heard a request to replace a culvert at Lamb Lake Refuge.
Nelson County Commissioners voted Sept. 19 to participate in a cost‑share for maintenance of the Adler‑Moraine waterway, agreeing to pay $3,500 of a $21,000 project.
Ben Varnson of the Nelson County Water Board told the commission the channel has been cleaned roughly every 15–20 years and described the planned maintenance. The proposed cost allocation leaves Nelson County, Adler Township and the Nelson County Water Board each responsible for $3,500, with Grand Forks entities covering the remaining $10,500. Commissioner Aaron Mork moved to participate in the county’s share; Commissioner Mike Haugland seconded the motion, and a roll‑call vote was unanimous.
Varnson also asked the commission to consider replacing an 18‑inch gated culvert at Lamb Lake Refuge with a 36‑inch culvert without a gate. The commission received the request for further consideration but took no immediate action on the culvert change.
The action on the Adler‑Moraine project was recorded as a formal motion and approved in open session. The commission did not specify a construction timetable at the meeting; any procurement, permitting or scheduling steps were not detailed in the discussion and are expected to be handled by the Water Board and participating townships.
