ITEM G-1 <br />EXCERPT OF MARCH 19, 2015 <br />LRRWMO MEETING MINUTES <br />Subwatershed Assessment Proposal — ACD <br />Schurbon stated that a proposal was included in the meeting packet. He advised that ACD is <br />receiving funds to complete certain studies. He highlighted an example area within the City of <br />Anoka to complete a study of the subwatershed. He estimated the total cost to be $10,000, <br />noting that ACD would be able to contribute $6,000 with the LRRWMO or City of Anoka <br />funding the remaining $4,000. He believed that the study could be completed in one year but <br />noted that the funds would need to be spent by 2016. <br />Anderson arrived at 8:42 a.m. <br />Kuzma stated that he would like to see some emphasis on Ramsey because of the amount of <br />funding Ramsey contributes. <br />Schurbon confirmed that the area of study does not need to be contiguous and therefore a portion <br />of Anoka could be chosen along with a portion of Ramsey. <br />Haas noted that it would be nice to have that information available for future projects. <br />Schurbon stated that the information is also useful in the grant application process. <br />Yager stated that the item had not been budgeted but noted that there are some reserve funds <br />available. She stated there would be approximately $2,000 in reserve funds and $2,000 in <br />contingency funding available, noting that the remaining reserves are earmarked for the Fourth <br />Generation Plan. <br />Haas stated that perhaps Anoka and Ramsey would be willing to contribute the additional $1,000 <br />each to round out that payment. <br />Kuzma stated that he would bring that issue back to his City Council. <br />Schurbon stated that he will work with Linton and Nelson to develop a new study area. <br />Nelson noted that he would also bring the item back to Anoka to determine their interest. <br />Schurbon believed that ACD could wait for a portion of the funds to be received in 2016, if that <br />would be easier for some of the member cities involved. <br />Motion was made by Kuzma, seconded by Anderson, to table the subwatershed assessment <br />proposal to the next meeting. Vote: 3 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. <br />
