LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 18, 1995 Page 6 Ferguson reported he discussed the wording revisions being proposed by Ramsey with Coon Rapids City Engineer Ottensmann who did not indicate any objection, but Ottensmann did point out the need to also revise Section 8, Subdivision 4, which refers to adoption of budgets beyond the August deadline for tax certification. Schultz raised the issue of how a dam repair would be funded since Anoka probably could not afford to replace the dam, and Andover and Ramsey residents would probably object to contributing towards the cost. Haas noted the LRRWMO determined at the last meeting to identify this issue and Capital Improvement Projects in the Plan update. Jankowski suggested member city Finance Directors review this wording. He stated he will provide copies of the proposed agreement with strikeouts and page numbers for member's review prior to the next meeting. Schultz suggested this wording amendment also be sent to Pearson for review and recommendation. Jankowski asserted Pearson will probably make the same comment he originally provided (that the amended wording is not as good as what he originally wrote). Ferguson and Haas supported Schultz' suggestion to obtain an opinion from Pearson. Jankowski stated he will provide Pearson with the wording amendments and request an opinion before the next meeting. Discuss Establishing Delineation Policy -Memo from BWSR/Ohman Jankowski reviewed the letter from BWSR indicating the LGU is responsible in the WCA to verify wetland delineations and that it is appropriate to use the Anoka County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) to verify, or modify if needed, the wetland delineation completed on behalf of the project proponent. The LRRWMO also reviewed the May 16, 1995, memorandum from Beduhn regarding Ban's staff of three wetland biologists trained in wetland delineations, and that if a permit is submitted to the LRRWMO and contains a delineation, it gets reviewed in one form or another. Consensus was reached if a delineation is required for the LRRWMO permit then review of the delineation will be required with the cost charged against the permit escrow. If a LRRWMO permit is not required, then the City will contact the Anoka County SWCD to verify the delineation and send a copy of the report to the City and Watershed.
