LRRWMO Meeting Minutes <br />May 27,.1993 <br />Page 6 <br />Schultz felt the Joint Powers Agreement spells that out. <br />Weaver clarified his position by stating he does not want <br />other member cities to pay bills incurred by one member city. <br />Jankowski summarized his position on the procedure: When one <br />of these site meetings are called for the Technical Advisory <br />Committee, the LRRWMO Consulting Engineer does not respond <br />because he does .not write the order. BWSR or SWCD sends the <br />order to the LRRWMO. The individual cities report to the <br />board on what mitigation has been accomplished. If not, it <br />will be BWSR's or the Anoka County SWCD's obligation to take <br />some action. If the person receiving the cease and desist <br />order wants to challenge it, he/she will have to come to the <br />LRRWMO board, take out a permit application, and then the <br />board can authorize its Consulting Engineer to go out to the <br />site and render an opinion. Jankowski stated it is the <br />SWCD's responsibility until the homeowner comes to this board <br />disputing the order or requests approval fora mitigation <br />plan. That can be taken care of by the City Engineer who <br />will then report back to this board. <br />Schultz disagreed with that position. Even without our <br />direct involvement, it does not relieve this board of its <br />responsibilities. <br />Jankowski stated he was of the belief that the agency <br />initiating the corrective response should be responsible for <br />following through. <br />Motion was made by Ferguson, seconded for discussion by <br />Weaver, that DUE TO THE CONFUSION AND LACK OF RESOLUTION, WE <br />PAY THIS BARB ENGINEERING BILL, INCLUDING THE $195 RELATING <br />TO WETLAND ISSUES IN THE CITY OF ANDOVER; BUT THAT IN THE <br />FUTURE, SUCH EXPENDITURES BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE APPROPRIATE <br />CITY IN WHICH THE VIOLATIONS OCCUR. ALSO, IN FUTURE SIMILAR <br />SITUATIONS THE LRRWMO ENGINEER SHALL NOT RESPOND TO THESE <br />INITIAL SITE INSPECTIONS UNLESS HE HAS RECEIVED BOARD <br />APPROVAL. <br />Weaver clarified that we would be paying this $195 bill with <br />the understanding of this motion. We are basically splitting <br />the engineering costs for the Andover cease and desist orders <br />with the city, noting there will be similar charges <br />forthcoming, probably in the next Barr Engineering bill. <br />Knutson indicated he would rather that Barr Engineering sent <br />that portion of the bill directly to Andover. Beduhn <br />indicated he preferred not to do it that way because he does <br />not have a contract or letter from the City of Andover hiring <br />Barr Engineering for that purpose. He stated he would <br />
