Consultant presents East Nishnabotna flood study; council discusses funding steps
Summary
Dan Fricke of JEO Consulting summarized the December 2018 draft of the East Nishnabotna Flood Risk Reduction Project and a levee-certification feasibility study; councilmembers discussed addressing deficiencies and preparing a letter of intent to seek funding but took no formal vote.
Dan Fricke of JEO Consulting presented findings on the East Nishnabotna Flood Risk Reduction Project and the Levee Certification Feasibility Evaluation Phase 2 during the Red Oak City Council meeting on Sept. 3, 2024.
The presentation reviewed the December 2018 draft and identified deficiencies that must be addressed to pursue levee certification, Fricke said. Councilmembers discussed options for responding to JEO’s recommendations, including correcting technical deficiencies and composing a letter of intent to seek funding for remediation and certification work.
The discussion centered on next steps rather than a formal decision. Councilmembers and staff discussed drafting documentation to support funding applications and the need to prioritize work required for certification. No formal vote or directive to commit funds was recorded in the minutes for this agenda item.
The matter will likely return to council once staff and consultants provide cost estimates or draft funding requests; the minutes record discussion but do not show a formal motion or timeline for a follow-up vote.
