WS — Item 5 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 5 <br />Date: Council Work Session, March 5, 2007 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Gordon Heitke <br />Re: VLAWMO JPA Issues <br />Background <br />As briefly discussed at the February 26 Council work session, some questions have <br />emerged related to the recently approved VLAWMO JPA. During discussions of <br />the draft JPA, it was indicated that member units would be approving the <br />VLAWMO annual operating budget. The Board of Water and Soil Resources, the <br />overseeing state agency, is taking the position that the VLAWMO Board is to have <br />the authority to approve the budget. Council member Carlson has questioned as to <br />whether that could be allowed under the provisions of the Lino Lakes Charter. Staff <br />is also now concerned as to whether member units will have approval authority on <br />capital improvement projects. Staff will provide an update at the meeting. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Any Council direction is pending the updated information available at the time of <br />the work session. <br />1 <br />
