• LRRWMO Meeting Minutes July 18, 1996 Page 3 Motion was made by Haas, seconded by Ferguson, to authorize payment to Timesaver for $358.13 and Barr Engineering for $567.52. Vote: 3 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. The LRRWMO reviewed the outstanding SEH invoices of approximately $2,000 and Knutson advised that 10% of the contract remains to be paid. Weaver explained the review of the Plan is coming to a close and the LRRWMO has now received a grant to assist with costs to prepaze the Plan. He asked if there is justification to consider, at this time or in the future, a request for additional monies beyond the not-to-exceed contract amount. Knutson noted that at the time of the original request by SEH, no grant monies had been received. At this time, the LRRWMO has recently received a grant of $15,600 and previously had received a grant of $5,000 for Plan update costs. Weaver suggested there needs to be a legitimate justification for payment beyond the contract which should be discussed when the Chair (Jankowski) is present. Ferguson concurred and stated that the • receipt of grant funds is unrelated to what SEH has requested. Present Draft 1997 Budeet Knutson presented the draft 1997 budget and reviewed the 1996 budget which was revised to include the $15,600 grant funds just received. He proposed the 1997 budget be the same as the 1996 adopted budget. Knutson noted the reserves have continued to increase due to receipt of grant funds. It was noted that a $42,267 reserve is anticipated in February 1, 1997. Weaver pointed out that the LRRWMO approved a budget deficit of $7,100 last year. Knutson concurred and added that the costs for engineering administrative work has been greatly reduced. He suggested that the 1997 budget be placed on the next agenda for discussion purposes. Ferguson reviewed that Jankowski did mention Ramsey would be looking for a decrease in member's dues for 1997. But, the LRRWMO will need to consider if there will be any new costs in 1997 due to Plan update projects. Haas stated once the implementation chart is completed, Knutson can review it to determine if there will be a budget impact. Weaver agreed that if all Plan update projects aze completed as originally proposed or even with the revised chart, there will be a financial responsibility which needs to be addressed. Weaver commented on the positive impact of the grants which have been applied for and • received. Schultz asked if the Barr Engineering review of the Plan has been incorporated into the costs. Knutson stated a bill has not been received for those costs.
