LOWER RUM RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION <br />JUNE 25, 1992 <br />The special meeting of the Lower Rum River Watershed Manage- <br />ment Organization (LRRWMO) was called to order June 25, 1992, <br />at 3:17 p.m. in the Engineering Conference Room of Anoka City <br />Hall. <br />Members present were James Schrantz, John Weaver, and Steve <br />Jankowski. Also present were Anoka alternate Ray Schultz and <br />Barr Engineering representatives John Dickson and Dean <br />Skallman. <br />The purpose of the special meeting was to consider the <br />renewal of the Consulting Engineering contract with Barr <br />Engineering. <br />Schrantz indicated the board felt it was time to revise the <br />obsolete LRRWMO Consulting Engineering contract in that the <br />existing contract was established several years ago prior to <br />the completion of the Water Management Plan. He further <br />indicated the board had some concerns which needed to be <br />addressed, and the two parties are currently not communi- <br />cating well. Schrantz urged those present to voice their <br />concerns in order to effectively work things out. He <br />indicated, to his knowledge, the LRRWMO is satisfied with <br />Skallman's work as Consulting Engineer to the LRRWMO. <br />However, the board is not satisfied with the billing <br />procedure. <br />Schrantz presented several concerns the board wished to <br />discuss with Barr Engineering: <br />-- The LRRWMO sends several project permit applications to <br />Skallman for review. The expense for this review is covered <br />by the applicant's submission of an initial $500 permit fee. <br />Schrantz stated Skallman should be keeping an eye on the <br />expenses incurred for each project; and when he starts to run <br />out of money, he must let the board know so that additional <br />money can be obtained from the applicant. <br />-- The issue of whether Skallman should provide assistance to <br />potential permit applicants was discussed. Schrantz stated <br />should Skallman receive a call from a potential project <br />applicant within the LRRWMO jurisdiction, he should go ahead <br />and talk to them and keep track of the expenses incurred for <br />telephone time, research, etc. Skallman should find out what <br />
