A is a resolution authorizing the execution of the Iowa Levy Improvement Fund Award Agreement.

I'm sorry, you're not in the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the Iowa Flood Mitigation Board for the Big Sioux River Levy Extension Project.

Okay, thanks, Mayor.

Hey Gordon, I have a quick question for you.

I just want to make sure I understand the timetable on this as well as what we're doing here is consistent with what was told to the residents out there as far as the levy goes and how it's gonna be extended, that kind of thing.

And if I read it right, you said that the um that the construction activities would start in 2027 and then they'd be completed in 2028.

So I'd just like to just have some confirmation on that from the Gordon Fair City Engineer.

Uh that is the plan for that, yes.

There is a long lead time for the permits through the uh DNR and the core to get these uh that levy extended.

The design is relatively easy and the construction is relatively cheap.

It's the all of the permitting afterwards.

Okay.

I just I want to thank you for getting the state share uh that was up, it's gonna be up to 865,000 or 50 percent of the eligible cost.

So thank you for doing that, Gordon.

Welcome.

Thank you, Mayor.

Gordon, hang out for just a second.

I'll let him read B is a resolution authorizing environmental services to submit a grand application, Missouri River Historical Development for the 2025 impact match grant.

That one?

Yeah, Gordon.

What I wanted to chat about this is I first off, I really appreciate if it was ERA or um whoever it was that came up with this project to be able to replace those.

I think that's an area that really needs to be replaced.

The sidewalk just is somewhat failing and in dire shape along that area, so I think improvement would be uh much needed.

What I would really like you to help me look into and we can discuss it maybe at the next public works to just uh if ERA is there or if I can chat with her.

This area is down across from the convention center is where is the sidewalk area that this goes.

And what I would like to figure out is where we want to send pedestrians to be able to get over to the sidewalk in front of the promenade in front of that pure form, I think is what it's called now.

That's new studio.

There's that sidewalk there that runs along those businesses.

I forget if you and I have spoke about it before, but right there at the end of that sidewalk of where they're proposing to do these new paving pavers to connect to that sidewalk.
