LRRWMO Meeting Minutes • June 28, 1996 Page 4 treasury prior to work beginning, and the LRRWMO has also accumulated reserves by being fivgal spenders (interest accruals). He suggested part of this reserve "pool" be earmazked and held in reserve for this future expense. Weaver stated his reluctance to have the Second Generation Plan include funding for future items such as this and his concern that future members may not maintain the reserve for the intended purpose. Consensus reached to remove Target Loadings from this Pfan Update and put in Third Generation Plan, if required at that time. Lobermeier suggested a separate line item for the Plan Update. PrePaze Third Generation Plan: Consensus reached to add this line item and funding of $10,000 for years 2005 and 2006. Document Drainage System: Lobermeier commented on the benefit of documenting drainage system decisions made by the LRRWMO to provide a record for future reference. Discussion was held regazding inter-City documents and flow rate calculations. Consensus reached to change term to "Intercommunity Agreements" (not Flow Agreements) and include drainage documents currently in existence into the Pian Update as Appendix F, but no flow rates -delete funding. North Rum River Minor Watershed • Lobermeier noted the different County requirements within the same WMO jurisdiction and asked if the LRRWMO would like to address that issue. Discussion was held regarding the boundaries of WMO's being established based on political boundaries rather than watershed boundaries. Jankowski suggested the LRRWMO recommend to BWSR that adjacent political jurisdictions should develop their plans consistent with standards required of this Plan. Lobermeier noted Sherburne County is outside the seven-county metropolitan azea. He suggested the Plan recognize this issue and consider a policy to invite comment. Schultz suggested the LRRWMO inform those areas of activity as well. Develop Consistent Manaeement Strateeies: Loberrneier suggested comments on 102 be revised to take a communication approach and make the Plan available to identified agencies (Elk River and Bums Township) and send message to BWSR encouraging them to take some responsibility. Consensus reached and to reduce funding on Table 33 to $200 for WMO, $1,000 for Soil Water District, and $2,000 for BWSR and to strike costs for Anoka and Ramsey costs. Funding on Table 32 will be $1,600 for years 1998 and 1999 and nothing for the year 2000. Develop On-site Systems Plan: Discussion was held about on-site septic system activity in Andover and Ramsey. Weaver asked if those communities want the WMO to take. over jurisdiction of this activity. Lobenneier explained that the Plan would simply identify this is an issue and indicate those Cities are the responsible agency. Jankowski stated this is a major issue and commented on the need for consistency. Haas noted the different regulations in each City and suggested that each City deal with their own issues. He also noted that Anoka County has a groundwater protection policy which would address this issue. Consensus was reached to leave in as a line item to recognize that on- site septic systems are an issue and to allow each member community to regulate and enforce - remove funding and reference to the LRRWMO since it is a City responsibility.
