Description
Highways & Waterways Committee Meeting 4/20/2023 9:00 AM
B
A
Very
good,
okay,
I,
don't
have
any
public
comment.
Is
there
any
public
comment
out
there?
No
okay
good
deal.
Let's
move
to
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
March.
The
23rd
meeting
do
I,
have
a
motion
to
approve
Mr
featherling.
Second
Mr
Smith
Voice
vote,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye.
All
those
opposed.
C
A
C
C
C
A
E
Don't
know
well,
that's
that's
the
only
price
that
we're
going
to
pay
is
the
state
bid
price
they
have
to
match
it
or
we
buy
it
from
the
state
through
the
state's
bidding
process.
I'm
really
kind
of
confused
here,
because
usually
you
put
out
the
bid,
a
Tahoe
or
a
GMC
Yukon
with
specs,
and
then
we
know
what
the
state
bid
price
is
to
compare
it
to.
So
our
local
dealers
have
to
request
a
dealer
assist
in
order
to
match
that
price.
C
E
Because
I
personally
I
mean
you
guys
have
used
both
GMC's
and
Tahoes
out
there
correct,
correct
okay
in
the
sheriff's
department,
choosing
all
Tahoes,
so
we're
not
necessarily
exclusive
to
that.
But
we
have
to
request
a
special
program.
The
dealer
has
to
request
the
special
pricing
so
as
long
as
we're
aligned
with
what
the
state
bid
price
is
I'd,
be
willing
to
make
the
motion
to
accept
the
lowest
responsible
bidder.
A
A
D
E
Stay
but
then
you
get
to
you
get
to
decide
which
one
you
want.
Actually,
this
came
from
me
and
Pat
McConnell
approaching
Country
Chevrolet
about
wanting
to
have
them
bid
on
these
vehicles
that
we're
buying
directly
from
the
state
bid,
and
we
wanted
our
local
dealers
to
be
able
to
purchase
or
to
be
able
to
sell
us
the
vehicle.
So
we
know
that
you
have
to
request
from
the
manufacturer
a
dealer
assist
in
order
to
be
able
to
supply
these
vehicles
on
a
local
level,
so
they
could
get
like.
E
F
E
G
Yeah,
it's
a
second
okay.
What
I
was
trying
not
to
say
because
I
know
he
gave
the
question
is:
what
is
the
motion
entail?
Is
it
emotion?
That's
basically
says
that
we
are
we're
gonna,
prove
that
be
it
pending.
The
State
bid
price,
and
that
gives
him
the
jurisdiction
to
make
I
mean
make
the
decision
whether
he
goes
with
the
state
or
with
the
with
the
local.
G
So
are
we
doing
it
pending
that
or
is
it
just
because
I've
heard
him
say
he's
just
approving
the
state
bid,
but
if
he
can
get
it
lower
than
the
state
bid
or
match
the
state
Bill?
Sometimes
we
want
to
support
local
business
that
would
leave
it
up
to
his
discretion,
so
it's
the
pending
in
there.
So
what
is
the
motion?
The
clarification
of
the
motion.
E
A
C
C
C
C
C
Is
junior
Township,
22-section,
22-04,
108-00-br,
ay
estimate
one
to
engineering
resource
Associates
they're
designing
a
new
bridge
in
junior
Township,
and
this
is
their
first
pay
estimate
for
design
in
the
amount
of
ten
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
to
be
paid
out
of
the
township
Bridge
fund,
County,
Bridge
funds
and
engineer
local
fund.
That
split
three
ways.
If
you
look
on
the
bottom
of
the
pay
estimate
and
that's
the
last
one,
I
have
thank.
C
D
C
Right:
okay,
just
a
few
odds
and
ends
we're
having
a
new
maintenance.
Foreman
is
going
to
start
next
Monday,
who
will
be
in
also
handling
in
the
river
duties.
We
got
him
from
the
core
of
engineers,
so
he's
pretty
versed
in
issues
that
deal
with
the
river,
so
he'll
be
able
to
step
in
and
probably
start
rolling
from
day
one
on
that
issue
and
again
starting
this
coming
Monday,
another
percent
note
County,
Highway
6,
that's
been
restricted
with
barrels
because
we
had
needed
some
Bridge
repair
per
the
state.
C
They
posted
it
and
told
us
that
we
had
to
close
it
down.
So
there's
a
lane
down
the
middle.
Well,
we've
done
the
repairs,
we're
waiting
for
the
concrete
to
occur,
and
hopefully
next
week
we
can
open
that
back
up,
take
off
the
load
posting
and
we've
got
a
good
Bridge
again.
So
one
down
a
couple
more
to
go:
we're
trying
to
get
caught
up
on
all
our
posted
Bridges
and
that's
the
easiest
one.
So
that's
all.
A
E
Yeah
I
can
do
that
Mr,
chairman
Lee,
there's
really
not
a
lot
of
you
know.
That's
changed
since
last
month.
They're
still
scheduled
to
do
the
the
muscle
study
in
the
spring.
If
there
is
nothing
which
the
more
people
I
talk
to
that
know
that
stretch
of
the
river
that
know
the
you
know
what
the
muscles
prefer
and
you
know
in
terms
of
the
habitat
we
shouldn't
see
them
in
this
area.
It
should
be
Upstream
in
the
more
Rocky
part.
E
E
One
is
the
the
mapping
of
the
entire
River
and
they've
also
doing
bathymetrics
on
the
part
that
we're
dredging.
So
that's
just
a
kind
of
an
update,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
to
that.
Yet
shortly
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
the
people
that
had
expressed
an
interest
in
taking
all
of
the
sand.
To
start
to
talk
about
that,
and
we
also
have
obviously
the
the
intergovernmental
agreement
that
will
be
finalizing
with
the
park
district.
E
Where
we're
all
agreed
that
it's
you
know
we're
going
to
use
that
land
or
excuse
me
that
parking
lot
at
the
dredge
site
to
dewater.
So
we
don't
have
to
truck
it
twice.
We
just
have
to
get
that
agreement
on
paper
and
State's.
Attorney
is
working
on
that,
so
we
should
be
okay,
so
unless
there's
any
other
clarifications
needed
on
that,
we
could
move
on
to
the
presentation
that
I
had
the
picture
of
the
screen
for.
E
E
You
guys
see
anything,
yes,
okay,
so
hopefully
this
is
going
out
to
the
public
as
well.
I
think
it
should
be.
This
is
part
of
the
presentation.
I
did
at
the
Watershed
conference
out
at
KCC
and
then
I
added
in
at
the
end,
all
of
the
equipment
that
we
have
submitted
on
the
list
of
capital
expenditures
for
the
seven
million
dollar
Grant.
E
E
As
Greg
mentioned,
we
found
somebody
that
has
Army
Corps
of
engineer
experience
or
it's
a
local
individual
who
will
be
bringing
that
person
to
the
committee
to
meet
them
in
the
future
here,
whether
it's
probably
going
to
let
them
get
their
feet
on
the
ground
and
bring
them
next
month
or
the
following.
But
it's
going
to
be
essential
to
have
that
Acumen
in-house
from
an
engineering
standpoint.
E
This
is
not
the
overall
fix.
This
is
also
important
for
the
public
to
realize
to
the
sediment
situation.
Indiana
is
working
on
stopping
the
sediment
from
their
side
of
things
and
it's
working,
but
that's
a
long-term
effort.
You
know
30
40
years
to
keep
it
keep
it
back
because
then
we
can
address
what
what
is
here
strategically
after
that
point.
But
while
we
want
to
use
our
River,
we
want
to
remove
sediment
from
the
boat
launches
and
stabilize
the
banks
and
remove
log
jams,
as
we
call
Strategic
maintenance.
E
So
we
can
use
and
enjoy
the
River
from
a
a
sporting,
and
really
you
know
that's
where
we
get
our
water
from
as
well.
So
we're
going
to
utilize
the
40-year
work
plan
to
address
our
side
of
the
state
line,
because
there
are
projects
that
have
been
laid
out
by
the
engineering
firms
as
far
as
things
that
we
can
do
to
kind
of
keep
things
at
Bay.
E
Waiting
for
that
big
project
that
would
come
with
the
sand
goes
back
to
what
it
had
done,
since
there
were
glaciers
here
or
belted
should
I
say
a
little
bit
at
a
time
instead
of
these
big
whooshes
of
sand
coming
our
Direction
and
sediment,
which
is
a
problem
in
certain
places.
Let's
see
here
and
then
we're
going
to
plan
for
the
2024
appropriation
to
execute
and
finalize.
Obviously,
this
committee
is
going
to
have
to
appropriate
money
for
the
actual
labor
to
get
some
things
done,
whether
it's
to
clear
out
log
jams
or
out
Bridges.
E
E
So
the
in
general,
it's
the
the
conservancy
and
moments
has
dominion
over
that
stretch
of
the
river.
We
would
have
to
work
in
concert
with
them
and
as
you'll
see,
there
is
some
equipment
for
them
to
do
their
job
in
the
list.
So
there
is
a
work
plan
for
the
Indiana
side,
but
there's
also
and
a
work
plan
for
the
Illinois
side
too
things
that
we
can
do
in
the
in
the
interim.
E
So
when
I
say,
if
you
look
at
the
far
right,
it
says
section
5.1.2,
these
are
actual
sections
within
the
work
plan.
People
can
look
this
up.
It's
on
the
Kankakee
and
Yellow
River
Basin
development
commission's
website
with
the
40-year
work
plan.
It's
massive
with
a
lot
of
documentation
and
I
would
highly
recommend
anybody
interested
in
the
river
to
go.
Look
through
that
because
the
statement
is
made
sometimes
that
Indiana
needs
to
fix
the
problem.
They
are
they've
actually
donated
or
donated
allocated
a
lot
of
money
towards
that
effort.
E
It
will
be
over
the
next
30
40
years,
so
our
end
of
it
is
reduced.
Sediment
Supply
from
a
severely
overroded
the
Kankakee
slopes,
Zone,
specific
access
and
log
Jam
management,
construct
storage
areas
along
laterals
to
offset
grease,
runoff
and
strategic
flood
protection
measures.
Those
are
things
that
we
can
address
that
are
active,
that
we
get
out
there
and
use
equipment
to
to
take
care
of
some
problems,
engineered
Solutions.
E
If
you
will
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
passive
management
recommendations
on
things
that
we
need
to
do
in
terms
of
our
storm
water
ordinances
and
the
drainage
projects,
You
Know
cover
crops.
Things
like
that
that
allow
feed
into
this.
So
this
slide
is
basically
just
to
show
that,
while
there's
a
lot
of
unstable
banks
in
Indiana,
we've
got
two
miles
here
in
Illinois
that
we
need
to
stabilize
as
well
and
that's
something
we
can
do
on
our
own
to
keep
that
sediment
from
getting
into
the
river.
E
Let's
see
here,
those
shorelines
are,
as
noted
here,
that's
moments:
East
South,
Shore
Drive
is
the
red
areas.
You
see
that
if
you've
been
down
there,
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
Also
Sun
River
Terrace,
those
those
Shores
are
eroded
and
just
pouring
sediment
into
the
river
when
it
comes
through
there
in
high
water-
and
this
is
one
of
the
big
problems
put
the
slide
on
here.
Singleton
ditch
goes
it
empties,
so
much
land,
it
has
a
stone
quarry
pumping
into
it
in
Indiana
and
all
of
those
Banks
there
are
eroding
into
the
water.
E
When
you
see
concrete
on
the
the
banks,
what
that
does
is
it
creates
little
Whirlpool
drills
that
drill
down
into
the
sediment
and
release
it
into
the
water?
That's
a
major
issue:
if
you
go
just
east
of
not
just
East,
but
that's
where
it
enters
the
the
Kankakee
is
east
of
moments.
It
becomes
a
major
problem
up
there.
E
E
That's
we
don't
have
that
money
right
now.
That
is
nowhere
to
be
found,
but
it's
it's
essential
that
we
at
least
recognize
it,
and
we
have
to
address
it
at
some.
This
is
kind
of
a
picture
of
what
they've
done
in
well.
It
is
a
picture
of
what
they've
done
in
Indiana.
This
is
what
we
need
to
do
on
Singleton.
E
Most
of
the
engineers
there'll
be
different
opinions
that
come
in
with
it,
but
it
needs
to
be
carved
back
and
then
stabilized,
so
the
bank
doesn't
continue
just
to
fall
into
the
river
every
time
we
have
a
high
water
event
and
then
it
causes
real
problems
at
the
mouth
of
the
Singleton,
ditch
where
it
goes
into
the
Kankakee
River.
Sometimes
that
water
starts
running
backwards
to
Indiana,
so
we've
got
some
issues
over
there
beyond
the
state
line,
Bridge
for
sure.
E
So
next
thing,
section
5.1.3,
Zone
specific
access
is
Log,
Jam,
Log,
Jam
management.
The
bottom
right
is
the
state
line
Bridge.
Once
you
get
all
that
torsional
stress
on
the
bridge
right
now.
That
bridge
is
in
Indiana
of
95
of
it.
If
it
falls
it's
about
100
in
Illinois
and
Scrappers
go
out
there
and
take
more
and
more
metal
off
this
every
day.
E
So
I
can
tell
you
that
that
is
an
issue
and
it
looks
like
we
might
be
able
to
get
that
thing
dismantled
and
taken
down
working
with
the
Indiana
commission
to
get
that
done.
They
have
been
cleaning
it
out
for
us
just
so.
This
committee
knows
Indiana's.
Commission
is
spending
money
to
get
this.
This
cleared
out
because
it
backs
up
like
a
fishbowl
in
Indiana,
so
that
whole
mutually
just
shared
destruction.
E
If
you
will,
if
the
old,
Cold
War
phrase,
if
we
don't
do
something
their
life
doesn't
get
better
and
if
they
don't
do
something,
our
life
doesn't
get
better
part
of
the
world
at
the
table.
This
is
important
because
we
need
to
do
this
in
Illinois
as
well.
We
just
don't
know
where
yet
you've
got
to
create
capacity,
because
there
can't
drain
what
the
largest
you
know,
Inland.
If
you
will.
E
E
They
had
200
Acres
at
Thayer
Farm,
which
they
used
to
lease
out.
Then
the
next
next
to
them
was
Blackberry
Farm.
So
they
took
both
of
them
and
created,
and
this
is
there.
You
see
the
picture
there.
They
created
200
Acres
of
Spillway
out
of
this
area,
where
you
see
Grand,
Kankakee,
River
Basin,
that's
the
access
point,
so
they
created
this.
So
when
the
water
got
high,
it
actually
just
happened
for
the
first
time.
E
E
We
have
to
be
able
to
get
in
there
to
do
stuff
and
if,
in
fact,
we
lose
some
access
well,
then
we
just
can't
work
on
that
part
of
the
river,
and
that
would
be
a
tragedy,
so
we're
we're
looking
at
those
areas
where
we
had
FEMA
buyouts,
where
we
actually
own
the
property
now
and
forever.
To
put
those
ramps
in
and
strategically
we
have,
those
one
is
by
I-57.
On
the
Upstream
side.
E
We
have
that's
why
we're
helping
out
with
the
Beckman
Park
boat,
launch
with
the
park
district,
because
we
need
access
down
there
as
well
and
each
side
of
the
Route
17
Bridge.
We
have
one
side
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
the
other
side,
so
you'll
see
all
of
these
access
points
in
here,
and
then
it
also
has
the
banks
that
we
need
to
stabilize
as
well.
E
So
there
are
things
that
are
identified
here
is
the
Aroma
Park
project
footprint,
if
you
will
at
least
I,
wanted
to
show
the
committee
that
and
then
here's
some
of
the
equipment
that
we're
looking
at
we're.
Looking
at
a
sand,
collector
sediment
collector
system
and
the
associated
equipment
to
clean
it
out,
and
have
it
be
just
sitting
there
running?
If
you
will
all
the
time
it's
about
2.5
billion
dollars
as
you'll
see
and
that's
a
longer
term
solution,
do
we
put
it
at
the
state
line?
E
Do
we
put
it
at
the
Singleton
ditch
those
are
things
that
we
have
to
talk
to
Engineers
about,
but
we
know
that
we
need
some
type
of
active
management
of
that
here's,
the
amphibious
excavator,
so
we
can
get
in
there
and
in
the
water.
With
that
reason,
obviously
you
see
how
high
the
cap
is.
We
can't
bring
it
out
in
12
foot
water,
but
we
can
definitely
get
out
there
and
do
some
do
some
good
work.
When
you
have
a
large
tree
that
falls
in
soon
following
will
be
a
new
Sand
Island.
E
So
that's
how
Aroma
Park
situation
got
going
from
what
I
understand
and
we
need
to
be
more
active
in
that
and,
thank
goodness,
our
highway
department
will
be
able
to
do
that.
This
boom
truck
is
for
the
bridge
work.
So
it
can.
You
know,
reach
down
and
saw
things
off.
Gotta
have
one
of
those
shippings
go
in
the
back
there
we're
going
to
need
a
semi
and
the
lowboy
to
bring
things
out
so
we've
identified,
you
know,
Greg
had
kind
of
looked
at
what
he
might
need
and
backup
equipment.
E
What's
here,
there's
the
box
truck
for
the
clippings
and
a
whole
tree
Shredder,
so
we're
gonna
take
a
whole
tree
and
shove
it
in
there
and
shred
it
so
we're
not.
You
know
out
there
with
saws,
cutting
things
up
and
bringing
them
all
over
the
place.
Let's
see
here,
here's
the
attachment
that
we're
gonna
get
that
will
take
a
tree.
E
E
So
we've
got
a
number
in
there
on
a
storage
building
that
they
Flex,
depending
on
the
cost
that
the
market
is,
is
demanding.
These
days
push
tug
rescue
boat,
you
got
to
be
safe.
Safety,
crew
barge
and
I
put
a
flat
bottom
work
boat
in
there,
because
you're
going
to
have
to
get
up
the
tributaries
to
take
a
look
at
things
that
are
going
going
on
up
those
things.
Like,
oh
I,
don't
know
a
baker
Creek
or
something
like
that.
E
Even
up
Singleton
ditch
you
might
not
be
able
to
get
another
type
of
watercraft
up
there.
The
gauges!
This
is
another
big
one.
I'm
talking
to
the
city
and
indirectly
with
Karma
regarding
the
need
to
put
gauges
on
the
dam,
there
is
no
river
gauge
between
moments
and
Wilmington.
That's
a
problem,
so
we
don't
really
know
the
turbidity
the
volume.
Until
we
already
know
we
have
a
flood
or
Wilmington
says
you're.
E
You
flooded
well
duh,
but
you
know
we
knew
that
an
hour
ago
before
you
told
us,
so
you
see
the
access
launches
there,
but
those
gauges
just
so
this
committee
knows
they're
expensive
and
the
reason
they're
expensive
is
is
because
you're
getting
100
warranty
with
them.
If
somebody
comes
by
and
shoots
it
off
the
location
with
their
shotgun,
while
they're
out
they're
goofing
around
well,
then
we
get
a
whole
new
gauge.
E
If
there,
if
it
breaks,
you
get
a
whole
new
gauge,
you
know
so
it's
it
is
a
hundred
percent
replacement.
It's
almost
the
equipment
and
the
insurance
policy.
Then
it
will
be
hooked
up,
as
I've
talked
to
USGS
it'll
be
hooked
up
into
their
internet
reporting
system,
so
everybody
will
be
able
to
see
in
real
time.
What's
going
on,
there
were
some
launches.
There
sediment
trap,
2.3
million.
We
may
decide
that
we
would
like
to
do
single
to
ditch
groundwork
instead
of
do
a
sediment
trap.
E
You
know,
so
that's
a
little
bit
flexible
right
now.
The
shore
equipment
for
that
I
accounted
for
this.
Now
that
here's
the
Conservancy
some
things
they
asked
for
in
order
to
maintain
their
part
of
the
river.
Well,
a
construction
contingency
because
you
just
don't
know
obviously
pontoon
boat.
We
already
fixed
one
of
their
Motors,
the
90
horsepower
and
a
65
horsepower
motor
Kubota
drones
and
a
dock
over
at
Island
View.
E
So
they
can
utilize
that
during
season
and
if
they
needed
some
type
of
a
lean
to
or
a
building
to
keep
these
things
out
of
the
elements
on
their
property
that
they
have
there.
We
would
be
able
to
help
with
that.
So
I
put
that
40
Grand
in
Aroma
fire
already
purchased
their
hovercraft
rescue
boat.
That
was
included
in
this
as
well,
and
then
Limestone
fire
asked
for
the
same
thing.
E
Unfortunately,
usually
it's
a
recovery
operation
when
limestone
fires
involved,
because
there
has
been
a
loss
of
life
and
there
it's
kind
of
sad,
but
in
this
case
they'll
be
able
to
address
emergency
situations
on
both
sides
of
the
river
that
will
really
help
the
problem.
You
know
it's
and
actually
the
other
fire
district
that
takes
care
of
the
other
side
of
it.
E
Let's
see
here,
the
boat
access
repair
I
mentioned
for
the
Kankakee
Valley
Park
District,
we're
chipping
in
150
out
of
this
to
help
that
retaining
wall,
because
we've
got
to
get
into
the
water
and
there's
only
one
place,
which
is
there
where
that
ramp
is
out
of
the
current
and
that's
a
big
deal
when
you're
putting
in
a
massive
piece
of
equipment
so
and
then
the
construction
contingency,
so
I
just
thought.
It
was
good
that
the
committee
saw
all
of
these
things
that
we've
submitted
Ben
has
submitted
to
the
state.
E
G
G
I
know
that
we
had
we're
going
through
the
dredging
process
and
I
also
know
that
the
city
of
Kankakee,
and
maybe
some
other
towns
at
some
point
most
like
to
have
the
river
walkway
that's
coming
through
and
I,
know
that
we're
asking
for
dollars
are
any
of
these
kind
of
like
intergovernmental,
not
so
much
agreements
but
collaborative
efforts
to
improve
the
river
and
beautify
it
at
the
same
time
for
a
walkway,
etc,
etc.
Their
dollars,
that's
being
I,
guess
they
they
get
it
from
the
the
walkway.
G
But
Kennedy's.
Are
there
any
interchanges
when
it
comes
to
how
we
might
be
able
to
stress
the
dollar?
If
one
city
is
doing
this,
another
city
is
doing
that.
We're
trying
to
do
this
and
in
essence,
what
they're
trying
to
do
can
work
with
what
we're
trying
to
do.
Are
they
like
any
in
a
workable
Savings
in
this
process?.
G
G
Yeah
well
we're
looking
at
the
the
city
has
the
they
want
to
do
with
the
the
river
walks
and
things
of
Nature
and
what
I
was
looking
at
is
as
we're
drudging
and
making
the
river
a
safer
I
mean
more
beautified
and
also
a
safer
River
for
the
community
at
large.
It
was
just
I
was
just
wondering:
is
there
any
interworkable
things?
E
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I
was
wondering
with
regards
to
dredging
and
equipment,
I
didn't
notice,
and
maybe
it
got
by
me
once
we
dredged
the
sand
and
we
put
it
off
to
the
side
for
dewatering
I
I.
Don't
think
I
noticed
anything
to
reload
that
sand
a
piece
of
equipment
loader.
You
know
that
that
kind
of
thing
and
I
was
just
curious.
What
your
thoughts
were
on
that.
E
The
the
the
haul
away
is
part
of
the
bid.
Whoever
is
bidding
on
the
project
is
also
bidding
on
the
hallway.
So
that
part,
we
don't
have
to
necessarily
worry
about.
We
already
have
that
equipment
at
the
highway
department
an
end
loader
and
things
like
that
to
be
able
to
load
that
stuff
up.
But
it's
really
not
on
us.
It's
going
to
be
on
whoever's
doing
the
actual
dredging
work
for
this
project
does.
H
E
The
working
with
Burke
Engineering
they're,
currently
doing
it
well,
maybe
not
currently
anymore-
they
may
be
done
now,
but
the
parking
lot
that
is
at
the
boat
launch
is
where
there's
going
to
be
the
barricades
put
up
and
the
sand
will
be
put.
Let's
sit
for
a
couple
of
days
and
then
then
haul
the
way
to
its
final
resting
place.
If
you
will,
the
dewatering
will
go,
will
run
right
back
into
the
river
from
that
site.
E
D
Could
have
done
this
in
a
long
time,
I
guess,
but
is
there
any
money
available
from
Emergency
Management
EMT
or
what's
that
I'm
sorry,
whoever
blows
off
the
tornado
sirens
I
forgot?
Who
that
is?
Would
that
be
something
that
they
would
handle
too
through
the
nest?
Is
there
anything
available
through
the
National
Weather
Service
for
Grants,
or
anything
like
that?
Andy
for
the
river
gauges.
E
Not
for
the
gauges
I've
looked
around,
that's
that's,
it
could
be
something
has
to
do
with
FEMA.
We
could
start
searching
grants
that
way,
but
I
haven't
found
anything
other
than
local
money
for
it.
Yeah.
Okay
and
did
you
I,
would
much
rather
pay.
Obviously,
five
grand
a
year
with
a
bunch
of
Partners
than
35
ourselves,
yeah.
A
A
F
The
krcd
needs
a
building
that
you
mentioned
to
lean
to,
because
when
we
had
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
out
there
a
couple
years
ago,
DNR
took
them
out.
There
were
what
four
attorney
generals
that
came
out,
the
guy
from
DNR
and
I
was
asked
to
go
with
them
because
he
really
didn't
know
what
was
going
on
and
where
to
take
these
people,
and
we
couldn't
get
to
the
spot.
We
that
they
wanted
to
see.
