Tentative agenda was approved on a motion by Smith, second by Rife. Motion carried. Attendance: Auditor Susan Bonham, Dave Sparks, Paul J. Rhoten, Scott Nelson, Rebecca Wilkerson C & R Levee The Board convened as trustees for the C & R Levee District. Jon Rosengren, Drainage Engineer, attended by phone. Elizabeth Lenz, Drainage Clerk, was also present. Discussion was had regarding fill dirt for the south end of the C & R Levee District. Mr. Rosengren informed the Board that he could obtain all the required fill dirt from SNC Contractors whom are currently working on a project in Blair, Nebraska. This fill dirt would be less than other fill dirt because of the proximity and it would also be a better quality of fill dirt because of uniformity. This would also allow us to meet the deadline of June 30th for expending some of the State funds. On a motion by Smith, second by Rife, approval of the report by Bolton & Menk for off-site fill material for the C & R Levee to proceed to import dirt for construction of the south portion of the levee. Unanimous approval. On a motion by Rife, second by Smith, the minutes from January 10, 2023 were unanimously approved.
