Two City Council members in Moorhead, Minn.,
are upset they were not included in a closed-door meeting about the
proposed Red River diversion flood control project in the region.


      Moorhead Mayor Mark Voxland tells The Forum it was up to the
Army Corps of Engineers to decide who to invite, and Fargo Mayor
Dennis Walaker says both cities were represented.


      Corps Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh met with the mayors and also
representatives of Cass and Clay counties on Monday to provide an
update on the proposed project. The mayors say no decisions were
made.


      Moorhead Council members Nancy Otto and Mark Hintermeyer say the
process should be more transparent. Hintermeyer raised similar
concerns in April about a staff advisory group meeting that was
closed to media. He says it "causes enormous damage" to have some
officials excluded from meetings.
