LRRWMO Meeting Minutes February 12, 1992 Page 2 PAYMENT OF BILLS Jankowski, a member, along with Weaver, of the Bill Review Committee, - presented a bill from the - League -of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust for insurance coverage for the period January 31, 1992, through January 31, 1993, in the amount of $2,291.00. The insurance agent, T. C. Field and Company, also provided a copy of the renewal policy for LRRWMO review and its files. Weaver reiterated this organization should let its legisla- tors know we feel this body should not have to pay for insurance coverage for WMO activities when we are all city employees and presently insured through our individual municipalities. Schrantz concurred there should be a better way of protecting this board, but also recognized the League's problems with insuring the various types of exposure. Jankowski also presented a bill from Barr Engineering, invoice #10598 -390, for professional services during the period December 1, 1991, through December 28, 1991, totaling $304.84. Upon a brief discussion of the Consulting Engineer's project review for both the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the LRRWMO, Schrantz indicated he is satisfied with the way the review process is being conducted now. He felt this board needs the Consulting Engineer's response before this board reviews it in order to expedite the matter. Schultz provided, for the board's review, a billing, for which the City of Anoka is presently responsible, for the removal of dead head trees from the top of the Anoka Dam. He felt this $450 per hour expense was not entirely the City of Anoka's problem. In addition, the DNR reportedly refused the city's request for a burning permit for this debris. Jankowski noted that these dead heads could be coming from quite a distance up stream and out of the LRRWMO boundaries. Schultz concurred but felt this is not just the City of Anoka's problem; some day the dam will have to be replaced. He queried whether the LRRWMO will assist with expenses in that event. Schrantz suggested that Schultz check around and study the issue further, and perhaps the board could discuss it again at a later date.
