This <br />Agreement will create a framework for future interaction with the newly created District, <br />and will facilitate statutory review processes between the two local units of government. <br />Similar agreements are in place with Roseville and Saint Paul, and are also being <br />negotiated with the State Fair and the University of Minnesota. <br />The next step in this process is for the city to adopt a local watershed management plan <br />(LWMP). This is required under the statute that creates watershed districts. This MOA <br />will allow us to work with the CRWD and the Rice Creek Watershed District to draft a <br />LWMP that will satisfy those requirements. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />• MOA, as approved by the CRWD Board of Managers <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />• Discussion <br />Approval of the MOA, and authorization for the Mayor and City Administrator to <br />sign for the City of Falcon Heights <br />• <br />is <br />
