new JPA is not executed by that time, the LRRWMO would be dissolved and Anoka County would assume the <br />responsibilities of the WMO for the watershed, or they could petition the Board of Water and Soil Resources <br />(BWSR) for creation of a watershed district. The County or watershed district would then assume all <br />responsibilities of the WMO for surface water management within the Lower Rum River watershed area. The <br />County or watershed district could then fund capital improvement projects within the watershed in any number of <br />ways, but whichever way is used it would generally result in the taxpayers of the largest cities, or the cities having <br />the highest tax value, paying the largest share of capital improvement projects. In addition, none of the member <br />cities would have a vote in any decisions made by the County or watershed district to undertake a capital <br />improvement project. <br />Notification: <br />No notifications are required for this case. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />No alternatives are proposed for this case. <br />Funding Source: <br />No funding is required for this case. Any future stormwater related capital improvement projects would likely be <br />funded from the Stormwater Fund, though funding sources for each project would be examined on a case by case <br />basis. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approving the attached revised Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization Joint <br />Powers Agreement. <br />Action: <br />If no further revisions are desired, the City Council is requested to approve the attached revised JPA. <br />Revised JPA clean <br />Revised JPA redline <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 08/07/2014 08:16 AM <br />Form Started By: Bruce Westby Started On: 07/21/2014 04:42 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 08/07/2014 <br />
