LRRWMO Meeting Minutes • <br />August 15, 1996 <br />Page 4 <br />Weaver noted that one way to reduce the reserve is to reduce the assessment to member cities. <br />Jankowski suggested a reserve of $25,000. Ferguson pointed out that this would eliminate all <br />assessments for 1997. Jankowski stated a reduction can be justified because the LRRWMO received <br />grant funds to cover the cost for the Plan update, for which assessments were increased to cover that <br />cost. <br />Weaver suggested that Knutson be asked for a recommendation on an appropriate reserve amount. <br />Ferguson suggested adding project costs and to forecast a reserve to remain as it was in February of <br />1996 which will lower the assessment level from $14,000 to about $11,000. <br />Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Ferguson, to request Knutson review the reserve, <br />budget projections, and provide a recommendation for a fiscal plan for 1997 at the neat <br />meeting.

He asked if <br />this section should be revised based on the recommendation of the consulting engineer. Lobermeier <br />advised that this has been anon-issue with other Plan reviews.
