PEB 16 '93 01~21PM CIT`( OF RIVOI~H P.7 <br />Ll'tRWMO Special Meeting Minutes <br />February 11, 1993 <br />Page 6 <br />Weaver qu®ried whether Mr. Suede was familiar with laws <br />applicable to water management organisations. Mr. Suede's <br />response was only to the extent it applies to court Cases his <br />firm has been involved in. He has reportedly done a lot of <br />work as an expert witness. <br />Jankowski queried what kind of WMO experience Sunde Engineer <br />inq has been involved in. Mr. Suede stated he worked for <br />Harr Rngineering when he was sight out of graduate school. <br />In his earlier years he worked in watershed distrxets in <br />Bloomington. <br />Mr. Mundstock noted some of his recent Work related <br />experiences in the watershed areas. <br />Schranta explained the LRRWMO review process. <br />Mr. Sunde, in ans~~.er to Weaver's inquiry, admitted his firm <br />has not prepared a plan for any other WMOs. Neither has it <br />reviewed plans within a WMO framework for permitting. Mr. <br />Sunde stated they have, however, prepared plans for the <br />developers. <br />Mr. Mundstock stated he has reviewed the LRRWMO Water Manage- <br />ment Plan, adding that come July 1993 everything will change <br />when HWSR's rules come out. He further indicated he was <br />familiar with plans of other WMOs. In comparing the LRRWMO <br />plan to others, he noted this one tends to prefer regional <br />facilities for ponding; whereas, other watersheds require <br />developers to provide for an-site storm water management. In <br />this way it takes the burden off the watershed or the cities <br />for this construction. Pond maintenance was then discussed. <br />Weaver queried what Sunde Engineering felt the biggest <br />challenge for engineering in the WMO areas would be in the <br />near future. Mr. Mundstock's response was wetland <br />regulations. Mr. Sunde added that everyone coming in with a <br />permit request should be required to meet technical <br />standards. The wetland issue will indeed be the most <br />pressing. <br />Weaver queried how Sunde Engineering would charge the LRRWMO <br />fer engineering services provided. Mr. Suede stated they <br />would probably negotiate an hourly rate; it would be more <br />fair. There Current rates are from $38 for the lower <br />technicians up to $68 per hour for professional engineers. <br />Mr. Mundstock, Who would be assigned to the LRRWMO, is <br />currently earning $58, Aowever, he would be working with <br />technicians, which would lower the costs. Anything requiring <br />
