LRRWMO Meeting Minutes August 22, 1990 Page 4 OLD BUSINESS tion of a third appro to the implementation of Skallman's reviewed his proposed Alternative Permitting Procedures. He indicated the cities will be responsible for inspections. Raatikka stated we will probably have to establish a permit fee for inspections, etc. Raatikka presented an example of the Elm Creek permitting process. In answer to Weaver's query, Skallman recommended any industrial and commercial development greater than two acres be reviewed by the LRRWMO, and any such development of less than two acres be reviewed by the cities. Members concurred. Skallman reminded members they will have to define regional basins before they can enforce this permitting procedure. Skallman indicated new legislation recently passed has given the Metropolitan Council the task of preparing recommended pollutant standards. The Lower Rum River will have to either meet them or prove you are attempting to meet them. The permitting procedure was discussed. Raatikka suggested a $200 permit fee should be required from the applicant. Any surplus would be refunded. Others concurred. The process for collecting said fee and providing the necessary paper work was suggested to be the responsibility of each city, acting as the financial agency. Schrantz felt this proposed procedure was a workable compro- mise. Weaver concurred, suggested Mr. Pearson be asked to review and comment on it in light of his July 23, 1990, letter. Members concurred the cities will do all inspections, with costs incurred being part of the developer's costs. These costs should be identified as that involving the LRRWMO in order to prove this organization is doing its job and can identify fees for our services. Motion was made by Raatikka, seconded by Weaver, to APPROVE THIS ALTERNATIVE PERMITTING PROCEDURE AND SUBMIT IT TO THE MEMBER CITIES FOR THEIR REVIEW AND COMMENT BY THE LRRWMO'S SEPTEMBER 19, 1990, REGULAR MEETING.
