2011 FLOOD:  Emergency Manager Rob Fines was present.  Monday and Tuesday of next week FEMA will begin assessing damage to individual homes.  They will begin on Frontier Road. Getting approval is a difficult process.  No word at this time about the Corps opening the spillway.  People need to keep in mind that when the water goes down, the disaster is far from over.  The ground water is not going to go away once the CFS is reduced.  They are trying to keep 12,000-15,000 filled sandbags available for critical infrastructure.  At this time, they are sandbagging in Pierre and transporting them to Stanley County/Fort Pierre as well as using them in Hughes County/City of Pierre.  They are down to 126 members of the National Guard who will stay for the next 21 days.

CH REMODEL:  Dudley Rumrill with SHP was present.  Sharpe Enterprises, Inc. submitted a change order for the windows at the CH.  Jacobson stated that the change order is for new materials plus labor but that the labor should already have been included in the original bid and should be deducted from the change order.  Since the windows were installed and there was some water leakage, Maher suggests that the contractor run a water test after the windows are recaulked and ask Maintenance to be available to oversee the test.  Rumrill will check with Midwest Construction on their progress.  Jacobson asked if Midwest Construction had fixed the sprinkler system that was broken when the concrete was installed.  Jacobson will followup with maintenance and let Rumrill know.
