Skallman referenced prepared draft guidelines on water quality management, dated Dec. 8, 1989. Mathisen recalled that on page 4, #4 of the draft, it was agreed that the guidelines should contain a list of things actually encouraged and discouraged. Mr. Pearson pointed out that page 6 of the draft contains an outline for either an active program or a passive program choice. He urged board members to consider the active program in that the State Legislature will be watching the WMO's to see what they do. watersheds will have to be more actively involved or else the Legisla- ture will create another layer of government to take care of it. (Schrantz arrived at 9:15 a.m.) Pearson reported that the Metropolitan Local Water Management Task Force will be presenting their report to the Legislature by Dec. 15, 1989, on suggested changes to water management laws. Members agreed that this topic be held over until the next meeting to allow them to review and comment on the draft guidelines provided. Also, during the January meeting, following this discussion, members should schedule a joint • meeting with member city councils to jointly discuss the issue with Mr. Pearson in attendance.
