Knutson informed the Board that a bill for legal services will be submitted shortly which he felt would include a substantial amount of work. He added that all cities have completed payment of their entire 1993 dues; Andover made payment last month, and Anoka and Ramsey paid the second one-half of their dues this month. With regard to permit application fees, Knutson pointed out the LRRWMO has refunded two permits since their projects were completed. He added the Kobbs Addition in Andover is still under construction and not approved for a refund at this time. Weaver asked if reimbursement of engineering expenses was included in the budget. Knutson explained this amount is due from Andover and will probably come back to the LRRWMO. He stated he will check into it. Motion was made by Ottensmann, seconded by Weaver, to accept the Treasurer's Report for the period ending August 31, 1993. Vote: 3 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. PAYMENT OF BILLS Knutson presented a bill from Barr Engineering in the amount of $1,845.37 for professional services from July 4 to July 31, 1993. Due to a difference of $111 between the detail and summary sheets, he recommended approval be given to pay $1,734.37. Knutson reviewed the charges included in the invoice, explaining the amount charged for attending a WMO meeting, work relating to wetland conservation for the LRRWMO, and for permit review. Weaver expressed concern that the LRRWMO be charged only for work that directly relates to Lower Rum River issues. He added that work being done which applies to all watershed organizations should be billed on a proportionate amount. Knutson informed the LRRWMO that Barr Engineering has indicated they covered the research expense since it would, if fact, apply to all watershed organizations. In response to :Weaver's question, .Knutson indicated the invoice does not indicate the scope of the research, .only a general comment. Jankowski reminded the Board that they had directed Barr Engineering to prepare a detailed memo regarding implications of the Wetland Act, how it will impact the budget in 1994, and outlining the process which the LRRWMO should follow for implementation.
