LRRWMO Special Meeting Minutes June 25, 1992 Page 7 interested in undertaking LRRWMO work, but it should be done as of July 1, 1992, according to statutes. Schrantz asked if the Consulting Engineer would attempt to provide LRRWMO information to the board's office address prior to the meeting date in order for the Administrative Secretary to include the information in packets which are mailed out to board members ten days before each meeting. Faxed information should be sent to Anoka so it can be dealt with by the Administrative Secretary also, either by sending it in the packets or for duplication prior to the meeting. Schrantz asked that he be informed if something is faxed to him. Mr. Dickson stated it is important for the LRRWMO to react promptly. Schrantz concurred, suggesting it may be necessary to set up conference calls. Mr. Dickson agreed adding that the board could then take formal action on conference call issues at its next regular meeting. Schrantz indicated although the board makes every attempt to be efficient and act responsibly, there may be some instances where action, however it is agreed up, must not wait for the next regular, monthly meeting. Weaver plainly stated that this board is not really comfort- able that Barr Engineering's time on LRRWMO matters is being used as efficiently used as it could be. He noted that this board simply does not have extensive financial resources. Weaver urged that consideration be given to assigning as much LRRWMO engineering work as possible to a lesser expensive engineer. Mr. Dickson stated that is an option that can always be considered. Skallman concurred, but added until review procedures are well defined, it would be more costly for the LRRWMO to have some less expensive engineer do the work and continually request assistance from Skallman, who in turn would have to charge the LRRWMO for his time on the LRRWMO matters also. As for the issue of delineating billing charges, Mr. Dickson stated Barr Engineering can easily provide the kind of information required utilizing a worksheet and can attach a copy of it to the billing statement. Schrantz reminded the Barr Engineering representatives that when the charges near and expect to exceed the $450 mark, they should let the appropriate City Engineer know. (Weaver left at 4:37 p.m.) Schultz queried whether Barr Engineering would be able to delineate past bills presently outstanding. Schrantz
