~. LRRWMO Meeting Minutes , March 17, 1994 Page 7 Jankowski explained that since Ramsey has not completed their Plan yet, they will have to pay for both general (through the I;RRWMO) and detailed (local Plan) elements of the Plan. He felt Andover would support this alternative since they have already adopted a Plan and taken steps to update it. Weaver noted that this alternative means member cities will have to take the lead and the LRRWMO Plan would "tie" them together. Jankowski t'elt the LRRWMO would initiate the process by updating their Plan and outlining general goals which the member cities would use to update their Plan, in detail. With regard to cost, Jankowski pointed out that Beduhn is suggesting he prepare a specific cost proposal to update the WMO Plan which can be reviewed and discussed by the Board. Schultz noted that Beduhn has indicted the update may take two years to complete and estimated the cost for the first phase to be about $19,000. Haas stated he is not sure how much the Ramsey Plan will need to be changed. He agreed with the need to look at cost estimates as well as a work scope to determine what changes/revisions will be needed to the Plan. Schultz concurred. Weaver also supported directing Beduhn to prepare and present a cost proposal for LRRWMO consideration. A brief discussion occurred regarding the section of the draft resolution containing a listing of issues covered in the LRRWMO Plan vs. the local Plan. Ferguson commented on the Upper Rum River Plan which is now being reviewed under the permanent rules. He suggested the LRRWMO could review their Plan after it has been <tppr~vcd. He pointed out that the draft resolution suggests the local Plan include a detailed ~vatcr quality and pollutant loading analysis which will be required for identification of future and existing water quality problems. Since this topic was not included in the first Plan, he felt it would entail a lot of work. Haas noted that the Best Management Practices for Minnesota, a guidebook prepared by the PCA Division of Water Quality, may have pollution loading analysis information. Weaver commented that he does not want to "reinvent the wheel" and asked if the LRRWMO should ask Beduhn to proceed with a cost and work task proposal. Schultz suggested the LRRWMO review Beduhn's proposal as well as the timeline being suggested. Moved by Weaver, seconded by Ferguson, to authorize Barr Engineering to prepare a detailed cost proposal, work scope and time line for LRRWMO consideration at the April 21, 1994 meeting with the understanding that preparation costs will not be billed to the LRRWMO.
