- Helgevold informed the subcommittee that EDA is looking at providing $70,000 for a flood coordinator and that MIDAS would be expected to provide a 10% or $7,000 match. At this time it is not certain if the match would be a hard match or soft match. Helgevold informed the subcommittee that will only three planners currently someone would have to be hired for this position the planning department could not absorb it.
- Helgevold informed the group that MIDAS had received a request for proposals from the City of Luther for grant writing and grant administration for a water/sewer project. Helgevold said she planned to submit a proposal. Because Luther is not a MIDAS member the cost would have to be 1 ½ the cost of a MIDAS member which would make the proposal of not to exceed of $27,000. The City of Luther has a census population of 158. Helgevold discussed this situation with Cliff Weldon and it was proposed to also offer the City of Luther a not to exceed $18,000 if they became a member during the duration of the grant. Membership would be $115 per year. The subcommittee supported this suggestion.
