1 • 14. 6.1.4. $8,500 Misc. & Contingency decreased. No new staff or office changes are expected. 15. 6.2 Plan development — $10,000 Local assistance. The watershed plan should be approved and the local communities have two years to update their plans and make them consistent with the watershed plan. This is the peak of the assistance need as identified on Table 6 -1 of the VLAWMO Water Plan 16. 6.2 Restore Reserves - $5000. This is the contingency fund for the water plan authorized by the Board this year that would be restored to the depleted VLAWMO reserves. VLAWMO should carry about one third to one half of its budget in reserve — that is anywhere from $127,000 to $190,000 for the proposed 2008 budget. 17. 6.3.3 $7500 Sustainable Lake Plans anticipates the next lake plan as a cost share with local match. 18. 6.3.4 $5000. Financial incentives (cost- share). The same as 2007 the first year of the program. 19. 6.3.5 $12,000 Public Education. The Water Plan anticipates an increased education program with consultants and a school component. 20. 6.3.6 $10,300 Facilities operation This is a 3% inflationary increase and is consistent with the Water Plan. 21. 6.3.8 Data — $1500 Citizens Lake Monitoring Program — same at 2007. 22. 6.3.8.2 Data $5000 — Ramsey Co Lab. This was reduced from $8500 based on 2006 expenditures. 23. 6.3.8.2 Data & equipment: $2500 — Monitoring equipment. . 24. 6.3.8.4 Data $3000 Stormwater Utility fee annual maintenance of database. This anticipates the fee. If it does not come to pass, this could be retained in the data analysis and water quality monitoring and modeling budget area. 25. INCOME. 6.5.1 Service fees remain the same 26. 6.5.2 Interest is increased due to CD investment. 27. 6.5.3 WCA subgrant & misc. income — the same as 2007. 28. 6.5.4 This line item under Income assumes the majority of the operations and project budget is coming from the current source — member contributions based on the 40 -40 — 20 formula. 29. 6.5.5.1 Other Funding Sources: Stormwater Utility Fee. This budget assumes the passage and implementation of the Stormwater Utility Fee. CIP projects may also be funded through the SWU. For the first year it might be simpler to fund the whole budget through this mechanism. The SWU may generate sufficient funds to establish an Enterprise Fund through which CIP may be funded. 30. 6.5.5.2 Other Funding Sources: CIP levy. The water plan recommends CIP funding to come from the taxes levied under State Statute 103B.251 (Capital improvements by watershed management organizations). This is a proposed JPA amendment that VLAWMO could use similar to Basset Creek WMC in Hennepin County. Maintenance levies may be included in the future.
