E � LRRWMO Meeting Minutes October 15, 1992 Page 3 Knutson presented a chart showing the final cost assessments for the 1993 -94 fiscal year. Information received from the City of Coon Rapids was included, indicating their valuation significantly went up because of the Riverdale Mall. Schrantz queried whether these figures show the valuation without deducting tax increment financing, which should be the case. These nu -Iners should be the total valuation. Knutson indicated he was not sure and would double check that. In the meantime, he recommended each member pass this information along to his respective city in that these numbers will determine the foundation for municipal assess- ments in support of the LRRWMO. The first half -year 1993 -94 membership billing will be sent out February 1, 1993. REPORT OF OFFICERS Jankowski provided a copy for the LRRWMO files of the replacement agreement, as approved by the LRRWMO at its special October 1, 1992, meeting, for the Ramsey Meadows Subdivision, signed by the developer, Gilbert Menkveld. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Schrantz noted the September 25, 1992, certified letter to him from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regarding DNR permit #92 -6100, Eldorado Street N.W., Dehn's Pond, Andover. He reported the DNR has denied Andover's permit recuesting permission to place fill for the construc- tion of Eldorado Street N.W. in public waters wetland 2- 610T•: in the southeast quarter of Section 30, T32N, R24W, Anoka County. As is the city's right, Schrantz indicated the City of Andover has demanded a hearing on the order. An October 12, 1992, letter to Administrative Secretary Mikkonen from attorney Curtis Pearson was noted. Schrantz acknowledged that Mr. Pearson is reminding to board that we advertise for proposals for legal, professional, and technical consulting services and should do so every two years. The September 23, 1992, memorandum to the board from Mikk_onen was referenced, containing a list of consulting engineering firms as suggested by Tom Hovey, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DP7R). The members discussed whether it would be proper to retain the services of an engineering firm which also did work for one or more of the LRRWMO member cities. After some discussion, the board concurred this type of situation would create a conflict of interests.
