Agenda Item No. Reports-3b <br /> Status : Informational. <br /> • <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: April 30 , 1982 _ <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmen <br /> FROM: David Childs , City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Proposed Surface Water Management Plan <br /> I attended the Metro Council Public .Hearing regarding the proposed <br /> surface water management plan. During the lZ hours of the after- <br /> noon session the following cities/groups spoke against the plan <br /> because of its financial considerations and its efforts to exceed <br /> the requirements of the newly passed state law. <br /> Association of Metropolitan Municipalities <br /> Cities of New Hope, Bloomington, Moundsview, . Plymouth, Brooklyn <br /> Park, Oakdale , Eagan, Minnetonka, Coon Rapids , Wayzata <br /> Dakota .County <br /> 5 Watershed Districts <br /> Fred Silberman - Professor of Water Resources Management, University <br /> of Minnesota <br /> Speaking in favor of the plan were : <br /> The League of Women Voters <br /> The Ramsey/Washington -Watershed District <br /> The attached letter has been submitted which I believe summarizes <br /> the feelings of the City Council as I perceive them. <br /> It appears at this time that there is a good chance that the <br /> Metro Council will amend their plan to conform with state law, but <br /> I have an uneasy feeling that the Metro Council is planning to make <br /> a strong pitch to amend the law in the next legislative session. <br /> We should oppose those efforts if they materialize. <br /> DMC/cjk <br />
