h ~ LRRWMO Meeting Minutes July 21, 1994 Page 3 Jankowski noted that the budget has not been spent, resulting in a build up of reserves. Because of this, he stated he does not want to increase the 1995 budget by the full $11,000 needed to complete Phases 1-4. Knutson pointed out that legal expenses may also increase since the Plan will need to be reviewed by Pearson. He added that it will also result in more administrative work by Ban Engineering than experienced in previous years. Jankowski suggested a reasonable 1995 budget would be $14,000 plus the $4,000 in permit revenues. Knutson pointed out that budgeting too close could leave the LRRWMO without cash reserves and if something unexpected comes up they will have to go back to member cities to request more funding. Weaver suggested Knutson prepare different scenarios for the 1995 budget (fully budget for Phases 1-4, partial budget for Phases 1-4, with grant, without grant, etc.) for consideration at the August meeting. Weaver commented on the need to make member cities aware of their funding dilemma and impact if they don't have sufficient revenues. Knutson agreed and noted that while the LRRWMO anticipates a Plan update expenditure of $33,000, the 1995 budget may only be increased by $11,000. Also, the Plan update expenditure is a one time increase. Consensus was reached to table consideration of the 1995 Budget to the August 18, 1994 meeting and request Iknutson to prepare budget information as discussed. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT -UPDATE RE: CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINIONS Jankowski stated that he sent Pearson (LRRWMO Attorney) a copy of the proposed amendments but Pearson is currently on vacation. Consensus was reached to table consideration of the JPA to the August 18, 1994 meeting pending response from Pearson and member city's attorneys. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Jankowski reviewed the correspondence and notices contained in the Chair's Folder, noting they do not require action. Informational; no action required.
