OLD BUSINESS Review Newsletter Article -Jankowski Not available; tabled to December 19, 1996 meeting agenda. NEW BUSINESS SEH Invoices and Responsibilities Lobermeier requested to receive a copy of the agenda and meeting minutes while involved in the Plan update. He asked if he is to invoice Anoka and Andover sepazately for attendance at their Council meetings. Weaver suggested he do so. Haas concurred. • Lobermeier inquired how the LRRWMO determined the number of meetings they agreed to pay for. Weaver stated it is his recollection the contract was anot-to-exceed figure but SEH requested reimbursement for additional meetings which may not have been planned but, perhaps, needed, and discussion concluded that this was a reasonable number of meetings and compensation. Lobermeier agreed the contract contained anot-to-exceed figure but was based on a specific number of meetings with the ability to request additional compensation if that number was exceeded. He questioned why the number of meetings was reduced by one-half as well as the cost per meeting.

At that point, the Boazd started to question the cost items (such as for the dam) and asked where those figures came from. The LRRWMO judgement
