Agenda Item 7-Lawrence Park Wetland Mitigation
Rebuilding Highway #93 from Somers to Whitefish requires
that MDOT arrange for mitigation of destruction of wetlands
involved in the project. The development of Lawrence Park
may benefit because of the mitigation requirement. MDOT
has suggested a contract between MDOT and the City whereby
MDOT will grant to the City the sum of $50,000 for
construction costs in connection with creating
approximately 2 acres of wetland in Lawrence Park. Your
packet contains a memo from Mike Baker and a 2nd draft of
a proposed contract. Under the contract the City would be
responsible for construction administration and inspection.
Council approval of the contract is necessary to authorize
the project.

Rauthe to Jeff Hagener, Land Division Administrator,
Department of State Lands. The letter has been proposed by
the Which Way Kalispell Committee.

a lease of 160 acres of State land North of the City upon
