DRAFT #1 OF WETLAND MAPS "WATER RESOURCES OF MOUNDS VIEW" MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL January 26, 1981 Regular Meeting Page 5 Attorney Meyers and Administrator Pauley pre- sented some discussion items to the Council regarding the wetlandr ordinance. Administrator Pauley listed four items that the Mounds View wetlands ordinance may control: 1. Nutrients 2. Sedimentation 3. Storage 4. Wildlife Pauley also noted that if an engineering firm was enlisted to make these determinations, they should have sufficient credentials to be able to identify these four areas. The extent of the study would be determined by the restrictiveness non restrictiveness of the ordinance. Attorney Meyers informed the Council that the presently proposed ordinance would prohibit any development of wetlands 462 -468. He suggested the possibility of listing wetlands 462 -465 as prohibiting any development and wetlands 466 -468 could allow some development by conditional use permit. He also asked Council if the City would want to obtain an engineering study to identify what would be controlled by the wetlands ordinance and what classifications would be nezdP' to achieve that purpose. Neil Loeding, Planning Commissioner, also present in the audience noted that the cost of this pro- posed study should be considered carefully before implementation. In summary, Administrator Pauley noted that to evaluate the present conditions of the wetlands identified in the Rice Creek Watershed study, the following factors would have to be considered: 1. The amount of runoff contributing to the wetland from the drainage area and the capacity of that area to handle that water for storage, 2. The sedimentation 3. Select the engineering firm with the capability of analyzing the wildlife. 4. Determine what wetland types designated 112 -468 are absolutely needed. 5. What wetlands currently exist that would allow some future development to occur.

The Fire Department's concerns were that they do not have other sources of funds other than the contract payments from the three cities and the Anoka /Blaine Airport. If their expenses should exceed their budgeted revenues, they would be unable to tap into other sources of funds to assist in these cost over- runs. The three clerk administrators of the cities 16. DEV. CASE 47 -80 MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL January 26, 1981 Regular Meeting Page Nine agreed the contract should contain language allowing for the re- negotiation of the budget and the cities' annual payments should their expenses exceed their revenues during their fiscal year. No guarantees would be made that these payments would be increased but it would give them an opportunity to seek additional funds. Also, the administrators agreed a contingency fund should be created which would be maintained at the $20,000 level through budget surpluses, miscellaneous income, and if necessary, additional levies to the cities. (Mounds View's contribution would be $6,000 established in the 1982 budget). (The Council concurred that they supported Administrator Pauley's direction in this matter). Councilmember Doty stated that he did not concur with the $20,000 contin- gency clause as outlined. MOTION: Doty made a motion, seconded by Forslund, to adjourn the January 26, 1981 meeting.
