LRRWMO Meeting Minutes October 19, 1995 Page 3 Lobermeier distributed and reviewed the next section under consideration: "Assessment of Problems". He also distributed the Action Plan format showing subject, purpose, goal, activity, steps, resources, measurements, target date and estimated cost. Schultz suggested a column be added for "responsible unit". It was noted that dollar amount and target date information may not be viable. Schultz noted that the Metropolitan Council appears to want part of the action and expressed concern they may look at the target dates established and if not met, may restrict allowing permits or withhold grant money. Ottensmann concurred and noted that the priority may not be very high and dollars may not be available. He pointed out that some people do not see the need for monitoring and water quality, which may inhibit funding. Jankowski suggested the Action Plan be deferred to the individual cities for consideration in their local Plan. Lobermeier suggested identifying the funding source or trigger/mechanism that would start the project, such as development pressure, so it would be part of the development fee. Schultz asked how often the plan is looked at for updating. Lobermeier stated it will probably be another ten years. Schultz questioned whether it should be reviewed more often since concerns may change. Lobermeier explained this may depend on what the amendment process is if an element is included for annual plan review of the Capital Improvement Plan. Schultz supported this suggestion. Lobermeier explained the goal is to review the Plan through the Appendix section and thcn go back through the entire document once again. The Plan update is due to BWSR in May of 1996. Lobermeier suggested that perhaps the LRRWMO can benefit from the BWSR review of the Six Cities Plan which will be in January of 1996. Lobermeier asked if there is a formal legal description of the LRRWMO boundaries or if it follows community boundaries. Jankowski stated he is not aware of a formal legal description. Lobermeier indicated he will add the natural wetland inventories (NWI) and next month the LRRWMO will review more on the permitting and implementation sections. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Review Correspondence in Chair's Folder Jankowski reviewed the correspondence and notices contained in the Chair's Folder. Informational; no action required.
