Red River Valley Water Supply Project briefing asks LaMoure County to consider commitment by mid‑November
Summary
Representatives from Southeast Rural Water and the Red River Valley Water Supply Project presented an overview of the project, its benefits and potential participation costs; the board was asked to consider signing a memorandum of commitment by mid‑November, and cooperative agreements with other entities were discussed.
Jay Anderson (Southeast Rural Water Board director and Garrison Diversion vice chair), Jeff Breker (chairman, Southeast Rural Water) and consultant Shawn Gaddie presented the Red River Valley Water Supply Project to the board. Shawn Gaddie described the project’s purpose, benefits and the range of potential participation costs that counties or local entities might face if they join the project.
The presenters told the board the county would need to consider signing a memorandum of commitment by mid‑November if it wishes to move forward; the minutes also note that cooperative agreements with other entities could be considered. The minutes do not record any estimated dollar amounts for LaMoure County’s potential costs or a formal motion to commit at the Sept. 17 meeting.
No public votes or formal intergovernmental agreements were recorded in the minutes that day; the presentation was advisory and intended to inform the board’s consideration ahead of any commitment decision.
