VLAWMO JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
The Council initiated a discussion regarding the status of the joint powers agreement with
the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO).
Administrator Heitke noted that the city recently joined with other member municipalities
in executing a new joint powers agreement with VLAWMO. Questions were raised by
the state board that oversees water management, the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil
Resources, specifically in regard to annual budgeting and project approval. They are
requesting an amendment to the JPA to clarify powers. Administrator Heitke suggested
that a review of financing for capital projects should be included in the discussion.
A question was raised as to whether the power structure would be allowed under the
City's existing charter.
The council will continue the discussion at the March 5 work session.
