LRRWMO Meeting Minutes <br />August 28, 1991 <br />Page 6 <br />Schrantz recommended the LRRWMO cover the board and purchase <br />the $1,000 general liability insurance and consider the <br />errors and omissions insurance at a later date. <br />Jankowski indicated he would prefer to have North Star Risk <br />Services, Inc. send us a policy which would explain these <br />details better, along with an invoice should we choose to <br />purchase any of the insurance options. <br />Motion was made by Jankowski, seconded by Weaver, to REQUEST <br />THAT NORTH STAR RISK SERVICES, INC. SEND THE LRRWMO A POLICY <br />FOR GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ITS REVIEW PRIOR <br />TO APPROVING PAYMENT. <br />Weaver stated the state legislature should allow that Joint <br />Powers Agreements can be covered under the cities' insurance <br />umbrella. <br />3 ayes - 1 naye (Schrantz). Motion carried. <br />In explanation, Schrantz felt this board should purchase the <br />general liability insurance immediately. <br />Schrantz noted this board will have to decide if it wants to <br />go through the City of Anoka and use its agent of record to <br />avoid having to pay the agent fee. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />Metropolitan Public Ditch Invento <br />Jankowski reported the county is the agency responsible for <br />responding to the Board of Water and Soil Resources with <br />regard to the Metropolitan Public Ditch Inventory. His <br />concern was the correspondence from our consulting engineer <br />indicating the county may decide to transfer the ditches to <br />the WMOs. Jankowski reported contacting Mel Sinn, BWSR, who <br />explained how this inventory issue came about. Apparently, <br />when amending the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, <br />the question of maintaining the public ditches was not <br />addressed well. It was reportedly Natalie Haas- Steffen who <br />raised this issue. Mr. Sinn reportedly referenced a section <br />of law addressing the WMO's option to accept jurisdiction <br />over county ditches. Jankowski went on to explain the taking <br />over of county ditches by the WMO would depend on the agree- <br />ment reached in our Joint Powers Agreement. He added he did <br />not contact anyone at the county in obtaining this <br />information. <br />
