LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 18, 1995 Page 3 Haas commented that Ban Engineering should not be doing any work for Rozella Stonsteby, or anyone else, who has not applied and paid for an LRRWMO Permit. He stated these individuals should be refereed back to their respective city for information. Schultz agreed and noted that otherwise the LRRWMO is providing free engineering services to anyone who calls Bare Engineering. He suggested Stonsteby be billed for these expenses. Ferguson stated he thought the LRRWMO had previously given Ban Engineering direction that those types of requests should be refereed back to the city, and if they are not following this procedure, then maybe it should be Ban Engineering's responsibility. Schultz suggested that Andover send a billing to Stonsteby and if paid, Ban Engineering be reimbursed. Motion was made by Schultz, seconded by Ferguson, to authorize payment to Barr Engineering for $75 for February administrative expenses and request the City oP Andover to bill Stonsteby for the remaining $168.26. If paid, Andover will reimburse Barr Engineering for these costs. Vote: 4 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. WCA Grant Matching Fund Requirement Knutson advised he recently reviewed the WCA Grant requirements and determined the LRRWMO is required to provide matching funds. However, the LRRWMO has requested (and received) 100% reimbursement. He advised the first quarter 1995 reimbursement request is for $762 and suggested it not be submitted since BWSR has overpaid in 1994. Jankowski stated he will contact BWSR regarding this matter and report on it at the next meeting. He urged members to keep track of all time spent enforcing the WCA. Challenge Grant Funds Jankowski advised that BWSR has now indicated they will not allow the LRRWMO to administer Challenge Grant Funds ($5,200) and will require that it be administered by Anoka County. It was noted that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners did adopt a resolution in July of 1994 transferring the ability to receive the grant to the LRRWMO, but apparently this is not acceptable to BWSR due to an Attorney General's ruling. Jankowski stated he spoke with Bob Hutchinson, Anoka County, who suggested the LRRWMO adopt a resolution requesting Anoka County to reconsider and accept the $5,200 Challenge Grant funds on behalf of the LRRWMO and authorize Chair Jankowski to execute all necessary documents for transference of the grant to the LRRWMO.
