M E T R O P O L I T A N C O U N C I L,;;;, 300 Metro Square Building, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 July 13, 1981 MEMORANDUM TO: CAB Study Committee FROM: Jim Barton SUBJECT: Schedule for Adoption of 208 Water Quality Plan Amendments The attachel staff report to the Physical Development Committee on existing debt obligations contains a schedule that is currently being followed in completing the process for amending the 208 Water Quality Plan. You will note that the key date is August 6, when the Physical Development Committee is scheduled to take action on staff recommendations after reviewing public hearing testimony. I will forward a draft of this staff report when it becomes available on Thursday, July 23. This report will be reviewed by the 208 Advisory Committee, which is an interim stop prior to mailing to the Physical Development Committee on Friday, July 31. A copy of the final report will also be mailed to the CAB Study Committee. Since the Metropolitan Council staff position relative to the CAB facility is consistent with that of the Waste Control Commission and the testimony received at the public hearing, I see no reason why we need to meet prior to July 31. However, should you have any comments, questions or suggested language changes to the report, please feel free to do so by either contacting me or John Harrington (291- 6324). Concurrent with the 208 amendments, the Council members are being briefe3 on the Metropolitan Council /MWCC debt structure relative to sewer facilities bonding. This review is a prelude to the issuance of bonds that will be needed to finance projects contained in the MWCC 1982 -86 Development Program. The Council, when taking action to approve the construction of the CAB facility, will need to understand that this action also means that the Minneapolis East will be built in a manner (timing and staging) acceptable to PCA. Construction of this facility will also require a commitment of regional dollars due to the diminishing grant resources that normally have been available through state and federal sources. Finally, I will be on vacation the last week in July and the first week of August. I am confident that John Harrington will be able to field any questions asked by the Physical Development Committee relative to the CAB, and to the coordination effort that has been underway for these past six years to get the facility built.
