Like for 46 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,480 example, the fire department, we can they could only do 20% back 47 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:05,520 to otherwise it all went for maintenance 48 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,880 and trucks. You can't use that money. 49 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,080 You know, they'd be better off if they had their own gaming 50 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:16,215 site.

Um 109 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:15,600 Cuz like one thing I didn't realize that like when they 110 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:20,040 they help um with funds for like these rain gardens 111 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:24,240 or like the shoreline projects on the lakes, that the 112 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:30,720 um soil and water district is 113 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:33,840 responsible for the first 3 years of maintenance costs for 114 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,360 those items. 115 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:42,400 Um and which is, you know, can't They can't use the grant money for that. So 116 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:45,000 um you know, I thought 117 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,120 really thought that was interesting, but it's just, you know, to make sure that 118 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,240 these projects, you know, 119 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,640 um you know, that they do grow and that 120 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:57,880 they continue and stuff. And then I think there's like another 121 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,800 um time when they check them like at 5 years and then I think 10 years again, 122 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:06,040 you know, to make sure that the projects are still there. 123 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,360 Um and then talked about 124 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:15,720 there's a huge project that's 125 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:23,320 Um so it's kind of east between um or not east, south between Fosston and 126 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:26,840 um McIntosh and it's um a 127 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:33,160 a drainage that goes into the Sandhill River and there's been a lot of erosion 128 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:37,360 and it's just it's a huge project. So um with the One Watershed One Plan 129 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:42,760 funding that can finally get enough funding to 130 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,160 be able to do some of these bigger projects. 131 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,240 Um you know, cuz otherwise they just the 132 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:54,680 reason why they get so bad is cuz they don't have the funds to do them, you 133 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:59,720 know, so they just continue to um erode and get worse. So and then actually um 134 00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:05,720 in a couple weeks we're going to have a listening session up in Thief River 135 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:10,240 um in regards to the One Watershed One Plans of 136 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:15,600 you know, what has worked well, what hasn't and you know, just kind of going 137 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:18,600 over um everything with that.
