1 1 1 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 1992 The Council packet contained a proposal for Step l of this process and in order to consider this in the proper perspective the anticipated scope to complete the plan including ordinance amendments were attached. Although the total program is shown to cost $89,000.00, Step 1 would be the only commitment by the City at this time. It is planned that Step 1 would be completed before June 1, 1992 and would include a task element identifying a financing method for the addition Steps 2 and 3 to complete the LWMP by December, 1992. It is proposed to create a Lino Lakes citizen's Task Force to provide input to the plan and probably to continue beyond the completion of the plan in 1992 to give guidance to future considerations to water quality. It was noted that SEH has successfully completed similar plans for the nearby cities of Roseville and Mounds View which can be used to pattern the work for Lino Lakes. SEH has proposed to assign as project manager Rocky S. Keehn, a registered professional engineer who is a civil engineer with a master's degree in water resources. Mr. Keehn is also a Lino Lakes resident who is currently serving on the Comprehensive Park Advisory Board which would provide a model for the Citizen's Task Force for the Local Water Management Plan. The Council was requested to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign an agreement for Step 1, services proposed by SEH. Council Member Kuether asked if this project will be a "real hassle" to take care of? It was noted that SEH has been through the process and organizing the Task Force will take the most time. Mr. Schneider said that this was a very technical process and felt this would be perfect timing for Lino Lakes. Mayor Reinert felt if this was not done, water problems in Lino Lakes would become more intense. Mr. Schneider noted that this will be of real value to developers and eventually developers will pay for the plan. It was not that if Lino Lakes became the designated LGU, the developers will deal directly with Lino Lakes and not the RCWD or VLMO. Control is brought to the City. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 92 - 36 Approving Phase I of a Proposal for the Local Water Management Program. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 92 - 36 can be found at the end of these minutes.
