LRRWMO Meeting Minutes September 21, 1995 Page 4 Use of Advisorv Committee Lobermeier advised BWSR is encouraging the use of an Advisory Committee through the planning process. Some WMO's have assembled a committee of residents, while others have indicated the community is already represented in the membership of their organization. Lobermeier explained he is uncomfortable with BWSR saying every organization must have an advisory committee when it is not an actual requirement in the Statute and will do some further checking. NURP Standards Lobermeier advised Vadnais Heights incorporated storm sewer ponding NURP standards in their updated Plan. Because of Met Council's indication they will require NURP standards before approving a Comprehensive Use Plan, Lobermeier requested the LRRWMO consider the language and determine if they want to add it to the performance part of the Plan, and if so, when they want to apply those standards (perhaps not based on the size of parcel but the CA value that would require a NURP pond). Block Grant Funds for Implementing WMO Plans Lobermeier reported that Washington County is making block grant funds available for implementation of WMO Plans. He noted if similar funding is available in Anoka County, there maybe some projects the LRRWMO would be interested in funding through a similar 50%/50% matching grant. Lobermeier noted that Schultz has previously indicated there may be a dam study completed in 1996 and perhaps the dam should be viewed as less of an Anoka facility and more long term as a WMO feature. He explained that perhaps this type of project is something that could be funded through block grant funds, if available. He advised that the implementation plan needs to address how to handle a project involving the dam. Jankowski reported he held some discussion with the Ramsey Council regarding possible joint projects involving the dam and agreed it needs to be addressed.
