Policy H4 <br />11/23/05 <br />• ITEM: Resolution to support establishment of a Technical Advisory Committee for <br />the Capitol Region Watershed's Rulemaking Process <br />SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />REVIEWED BY: Roger Knutson, City Attorney <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: The Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) began the rulemaking process late <br />this summer. The Watershed does not have a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) currently. <br />A TAC is required by state statute establishing watershed districts and watershed management <br />organizations. To ensure that the rulemaking process takes into consideration the concerns of <br />local units of government within the watershed's boundaries, staff is recommending that the <br />watershed district establish a TAC. The attached resolution outlines some of the issues raised by <br />staff of the concerned cities, including Falcon Heights, Roseville, Saint Paul, and Maplewood. <br />The Watershed Board of Directors met on Wednesday, November 16th, and did take action to <br />extend the comment period for cities to comment on the rules themselves. Staff is working on <br />comments in conjunction with our city engineers, and will make those available at the December <br />14th Council meeting for review. Comments are to be submitted by Thursday, December 15th <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• • Resolution 2005-21 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />• Discussion <br />• Adoption of Resolution 2005-21 <br />• <br />~CHG02:40069922.v1 ~9/28/OS 11:33 AM <br />
