The project would enable VLAWMO to remove bacteria, increase water <br />storage, and improve ecosystem functions. <br />VLAWMO would like to have all its member cities approve the amendment before their next <br />Board meeting on August 28 so they can move forward with the loan agreement with MPCA. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve the Second Amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Second Amendment (2019) to the Joint Powers Agreement to Protect and Manage the Vadnais <br />Lake Area Watershed <br />
