LRRWMO Meeting Minutes <br />August 28, 1991 <br />Page 2 <br />Jankowski suggested we request additional revenues from the <br />permitees, adding we have not been vigorous on this. Schultz <br />disagreed with that suggestion stating the permitees are <br />being4feed to death as it is. He felt this board's focus <br />should be water quality and the preservation of wetlands. <br />Weaver stated the future will show there to be an ever <br />increasing focus on the sins of the past. <br />Schultz added he feels the LRRWMO or perhaps the county in <br />general should be responsible for the Rum River Dam adjacent <br />to Anoka's City Hall rather than it being solely the <br />responsibility of the City of Anoka. He informed those <br />present there will have to be repairs out there. <br />Jankowski explained his reasons for inquiring is to enable <br />him to return to Ramsey will more complete information. He <br />stated the impact on water quality will come from Ramsey <br />developments in a different manner than it will come from <br />Anoka. <br />Schrantz suggested Anoka should perhaps review the dam <br />portion of the Joint Powers Agreement. If it wants this <br />board to reconsider its inclusion, they should ask that the <br />issue be placed on our agenda for reconsideration. <br />Jankowski noted the upcoming September 4, 1991, Joint <br />Anoka /Ramsey City Councils meeting and suggested this issue <br />might be worth discussing at that time. <br />Schrantz stated the permit fees paid to the LRRWMO at the <br />time of application will only pay for the costs. It is not <br />an attempt to draw a profit for the LRRWMO. Schrantz <br />reported the City of Andover now has a taxing district for <br />the Lower Rum River WMO activities. <br />Motion was made by Erickson, seconded by Jankowski, to <br />APPROVE THE TREASURER'S REPORT AS PRESENTED, AUTHORIZING THE <br />REFUND OF $42.00 TO THE CITY OF COON RAPIDS. <br />4 ayes - 0 nayes.
