City Council <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 E. Little Canada Rd <br />Little Canada, Mn 55117 <br />Dear Council Members; <br />500 West Highway 96 <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55112 <br />484 -3301 <br />December 4, 1987 <br />RE: DNR FLOOD GRANTS <br />We have met with Roger Glanger and Joe Chlebeck to discuss possible <br />uses for a State Grant being offered under the "Flood Hazard Mitigation <br />Grant Assistance Program" as administered under the Department of <br />Natural Resources. <br />The program awards grants up to $75,000.00 and may not exceed one <br />half of the total cost of a project. In other words, these are <br />matching grants. Grants of more than $75,000.00 must be submitted <br />for consideration by the govenor and legislative. The program also <br />lists deadlines which are as follows: <br />1. Application Submittal <br />2. Notification of Status <br />3. First Funding <br />4. Second Funding <br />December 31, 1987 <br />Feburary 15, 1988 <br />March 31, 1988 <br />September 15, 1988 <br />There is no indication as to the amount of money available but the <br />"letter implies that not all applications will be successful. The <br />"status" determination implies that some sort of priority system <br />will be established which will place some projects ahead of others. <br />The projects discussed are as follows: <br />1. Eng house County Road B2 <br />This is one of the few if not the only house in the flood plain <br />in the City. Alternatives discussed were: <br />A. Construction of dike's - to protect the house <br />from flooding. <br />B. Physically raising the house so as to be above <br />the high water level. <br />C. Removing the house completely. Obviously, no estimate <br />of cost can be made in the short time available, but <br />this is something that could be considered for the <br />long term in a future grant application, <br />Page 3 <br />
