City officials said they're committed to providing a 10% minimum local match for the project.
The total estimated cost of the project is more than $1.7 million. City commissioners approved to apply before the deadline of May 30.
'We just wanted to get that in there, that includes several options that we have yet to pick to design but this gives us the flexibility to if we can get in the cue. Hopefully get the grant awarded to us and then we'll have time to choose which alternative is best,' said Mayor Chris Bogenrief.
Two of the possible plans go through McCook Lake, and a third goes through Lake Goodenough, then into Mud Lake, before going to the Missouri River.
Bogenrief said a public hearing may happen in July or August to determine which alternate plan to go with for the mitigation project.
City commissioners also voted yes to award Steve Harris Construction Incorporated from Homer, Nebraska, for the Penrose Drive Reconstruction Project.
The company bid more than $719,000 on the project, the city received bids on May 21.
Mayor Bogenrief said the city will use FEMA funds to pay for the project as North Sioux City received approximately $915,000 from the agency.

Multiple treaties will also be read. This event will begin at around 6 p.m. I started Sweetgrass Uprising as a way to bring people together in the community and to unify as one against an unjust and corrupt government,' Sweetgrass Uprising organizer Jessica Lopez-Walker said. 'We will stand up for those who cannot. They won't break our spirits!' Siouxland Good Troublemakers co-organizer Garie Lewis said, 'With the chaos coming out of D.C., it is more important than at anytime in my life for all people to come together and realize that we have more in common with each other than we do with any so-called leader that tries to make us hate our neighbors. Any person that does that is the enemy of peace.' During the event, donations for Safe Place of Siouxland will also be collected. These events are taking place on the same day as many 'No Kings Day of Defiance' protests will be taking place around the nation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
