• <br />• <br />ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING October 26, 2011 <br />• Update Surface Water Management Plan. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA: <br />E. MIDS (Minimum Impact Design Standards) Update <br />Mr. Asleson stated there are a number of reason cities are looking at MIDS design <br />standards. It is costing cities an enormous amount of money to keep up with <br />requirements imposed by the Pollution Control Agency (PCA). Thirty cities in <br />the state were sued by Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MECA). <br />MECA stated cities need to be restored to surface water qualities that existed <br />before 1974. Many cities have already spent a lot of money implementing these <br />standards. The thought would be that if the City meets the Best Management <br />Practices (BMP' s) and in particularly infiltrate the first 1.1" rain event we would <br />hopefully meet their degradation requirements. <br />Mr. Asleson also reviewed the MIDS Cities' Perspective & Concerns handout <br />with the Board. <br />7. ADJOURN <br />It was noted that the next meeting of the Environmental Board will be on <br />Wednesday, November 30, 2011at 6:30 p.m. <br />There being no further business, Mr. Heiskary moved to adjourn at7:50 p.m. Ms. <br />DeHaven seconded the motion.
