also worked to update the permitting applications to make the process easier for applicants. She asked if there have been any changes to the permit fees. Civil Engineer IV Linton stated that would be a budgeting discussion by the LRRWMO Board. He noted that the City of Anoka finance staff tracks that element for the LRRWMO. He noted that a question could be posed at the next Board meeting as to the number of permits that exceed the permit fees. Councilmember Musgrove asked if the administrative fee remains unchanged. Civil Engineer IV Linton replied that perhaps the fees have changed slightly and provided additional details on the different fees. Councilmember Musgrove noted that she has already provided feedback as she began to review the document and welcomed any additional input from the Council. Acting Mayor Riley stated that he does have a suggestion/comment on one of the tables, noting that the totals are incorrect. Councilmember Musgrove noted that she also noticed that error and explained that she was told that the totals are not wrong but the numbers in the columns are wrong. She stated that table has been corrected per her comment but noted that she would continue to look for potential errors of that nature. She noted that she is awaiting more information related to how that updated information potentially changes the narrative. Acting Mayor Riley confirmed that he would be concerned that the information may then not be correct and should be doublechecked. He noted figure 2.1 and commented that it seems unlikely that there would be a smooth increase over each decade. Civil Engineer IV Linton confirmed that he would follow up on that. Councilmember Musgrove noted that some of the most recent information was dated as 2016 and stated that she has requested more recent information be used if available. She commented that some changes have been made to the draft per the comments from the City of Andover and herself and noted that she would follow up to determine if the updated version could be distributed to the City Council. Civil Engineer IV Linton confirmed that the draft attached to the case does incorporate some of the changes. He noted that he will follow up on the additional items noted. Acting Mayor Riley noted that the Council can continue to review the draft and provide comments to Civil Engineer IV Linton or Councilmember Musgrove. 2.02: Review Draft Ordinance 21-04, Critical Water Deficiency Regulations City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report.
