Beau~y's 2nd Addition: able for construction. Project on hold until weather is favor- Ford Brook Estates: for construction. Project on hold until weather is favorable DNR Proposed Shorelands: We have received a letter addressed to Mayor Games from the DNR dated April 16, 1984. That letter agreed with all except one of the City's recommendations on proposed Shorelands. DNR requests that Jeglins Marsh be main- tained as a recreational development shoreland. DNR also recommends that Thorn Lake be included as a natural environment shoreland. If the City Council agrees with DNR's recommendations, we will proceed with the shoreland map and ordinance. Central Park Construction: Construction of the irrigation piping system is scheduled to be completed this week. The construction of the well is almost complete with the exception of test pumping· Test pumping should be completed within the next two weeks provided Anoka Electric can install power to the site. I have contacted Anoka Electric and the transformer for the project is available. Therefore, the complete system should be tested and in operation on or prior to the completion date of June 18, 1984. Rum River Watershed Meeting: On May 3, 1984, council member Sorteberg and myself attended the Rum River Watershed meeting at Andover, Senator Gene Merriam was present and explained the two new changes in the watershed laws which are as follows: 1) The county can act as a representative for a city that does not want to be involved in a watershed organization provided the city gives permission to the county. 2) The deadline for organization of watersheds was extended one year to July 1, 1985. The cost of a watershed plan was discussed and Merriam stated that Metropolitan Council, DNR and the Water Resources Board can only review and comment on plans. Therefore, the contents of a watershed plan is left up to the individual watershed organization. The next step will be to have the DNR and Water Resources Board review the boundaries. Burns Township and the area north of Trott Brook in Ramsey may be deleted from the watershed, since they are part of a minor watershed (Trott Brook). Trott Brook is already exempt from the watershed.
