AGENDA ITEM 6E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson
MEETING DATE: February 14, 2011
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No.11 -33, Authorizing Execution
of Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County to Implement
the Wellhead Protection Plan.
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Department of Health requires (Minnesota Rules 4720.1530), Cities to
develop and implement a Wellhead Protection Plan to prevent the contamination of
ground water serving municipal wells. A previous Implementation Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) between the City of Lino Lakes and Anoka County was written for the
purpose of developing the required plans. The city's last plan was adopted in October
of 2004. The wellhead protection plan includes several implementation strategies.
Accordingly, cities in Anoka County are working together on plan implementation
through a revised JPA.
The attached JPA allows cities to use elements of the JPA at their own discretion to
implement their plans. Flexibility in the plan allows cities to decide whether or not they
wish to participate in any parts of the JPA.
Cities and the County are now discussing ways in which cities can cost save by
collaborating, particularly in areas of public education and abandon well sealing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution Number 11 -33 entering into a Joint Powers
Agreement with Anoka County and Anoka County Cities to implement the city Well
Head Protection Plan.
