LRRWMO Meeting Minutes December 15, 1994 Page 8 In response to Weaver's question, Haas reported that Andover has requested an additional 1500 acres of MUSA (about 1,000 acres of buildable) and feels it will be approved pending the Transportation Plan and septic inspection requirement. A brief discussion was held regarding the requirement for septic inspection and how cities will accommodate this requirement via permit fees and/or pumper permit requirements. All agreed this has resulted in another unfunded State mandate. Coon Rapid's report not available; placed on January, 1995 agenda. OLD BUSINESS Newsletter Article -Coon Ram Ferguson reported a computer failure has resulted in the need to recreate the article. Jankowski requested the article at the January, 1995 meeting so it can be included in member City's newsletters. Joint Powers Agreement -Update Re: Ramsey Jankowski reported he met with Ramsey Mayor Elect Hardin and provided him with copies of the proposed JPA wording as well as Pierson's comments. Hardin indicated he will review this information and get back to Jankowski. Weaver asked if the LRRWMO has been in noncompliance since the JPA is not completed. Jankowski agreed they have been in noncompliance since August of 1993. Weaver suggested that perhaps a note to Mayor Elect Hardin explaining this situation and the need for it to be resolved may help. Jankowski pointed out that a joint meeting will be scheduled shortly between Anoka and Ramsey, and this would be a good tune to address this issue. All agreed. Discuss Mn/DOT Action Re: LGU Permits Jankowski reviewed that a letter dated June 23, 1994 was received from Mn/DOT on October 31, 1994 indicating their intention to act as their own local government unit (LGU) and providing a "one-time notice to mayors of all cities indicating that after this date, Mn/DOT will only send copies of replacement plan applications and decisions to mayors of cities that are directly affected (unless requested to do otherwise)". He also reviewed a memorandum received from Barbara Ohman, BWSR, advising that Mn/DOT is exempt from permitting requirements of local governmental units and watershed management organization plans.
