Policy Positions for the CUC. There were some modifications, but as yet we have not seen those
in final form.
6. Emergency Vehicle Pre Grant
We have received a response from MnDOT - they have awarded us a grant of $16, 200. The
initial application requested $3 0,000 - so they have provided a little better than one-half of the
estimated and necessary funding. Enclosed is their letter for your review. I will be contacting
MNDOT on the terms and issues related to the reduce amount and discussing alternative funding.
Stand by.
7. Governor's Bonding Priorities
Mark Swenson provied me a copy of a memo from the LMC Bulletin. Please note the Flood
Water Hazzard Mitiagtion inititive. Perhaps this is where the Perro Project would be funded.
Alterntively, it could be part of the "Corrections" bonding portion.
