LRRWMO Meeting Minutes December 16, 1993 Page 4 A brief discussion was held regarding the option of recouping costs (when a permit fee is not received) via assessment through property taxes. No action required. DNR Letter Regarding Culvert Placement -Norway Pine Home Builders. Andover Haas explained that the culvert installed by the property owner (in the front of the property) is not large enough to handle the water flow and water started backing up. He reported he spoke with Tom Hovey, DNR Area Hydrologist, regazding this issue and Hovey indicated they will handle enforcement since a DNR protected wetland is involved. No action required. REPORT OF OFFICERS On-Site Project/Restoration Inspection Form Jankowski reviewed an On-Site Project/Restoration Inspection Form he prepazed which can be used by members to keep track of time and expenses as well as record persons on the site during inspection and a narrative. This form was designed for members to take along during site inspections. The forms will be compiled to determine time spent enforcing the Wetland Conservation Act and whether these expenses aze eligible for reimbursement from matching grant funds. Following a brief discussion, members requested the Secretary to revise the On-site WCA Inspection Form by adding an area to record Cease and Desist Permit Numbers. This form will be updated and copies sent to LRRWMO members. OLD BUSINESS Consideration of the Joint Powers Aereement Jankowski suggested that the LRRWMO review Curt Peazson's legal comments and then duect that the JPA be prepazed in its final form for ratification at the January 20, 1994 meeting. He noted Peazson's position is that it is alright to omit repetitive sections (already contained in State Statute), however, it does not absolve the LRRWMO's responsibility to abide by those regulations. Jankowski asked if it would be better to leave these references in the JPA since they would be more accessible than if you have to delve into State Statutes. Schultz stated he would prefer to see the JPA in final form before taking action. Haas agreed and stated he just received Peazson's comments and has not had an opportunity to adequately review them.
