Council Adopts Resolution Protesting Final Water Management Plan Referring to the February 9th letter from the Roseville Public Works Director which had been accepted as an agenda addendum, Councilmember • Enrooth said he supported the attempt to dissuade the Watershed Board from adopting the above plan, March 1st. The Councilmember said he and Mr. Hamer, who had represented the City on separate advisory committees to develop the plan, concurred that the final document did not parallel the suggestions those advisory bodies had made. He said they also concurred a united position by both the larger and smaller cities was necessary if the Board is to be convinced not to implement the plan as now proposed. Councilmember Enrooth said the general consensus was that if the plan is implemented as now proposed, it could seriously impact on the affected municipalities in the future as stated in the proposed resolution. If the plan went into effect in 2000, as written, the municipalities in the watershed could be facing major expenditures for providing for water runoffs which might not originate in their cities, but might only be passing through, he suggested. Mr. Childs agreed that it was important for the municipalities to register immediate protests because, under the plan the Watershed Board would be considering March 1st, the Watershed would even have levying capabilities related to the various aspects of the plan. The resolution was modified to eliminate any general acceptance of the plan because "the City finds it contains flaws which potentially could have a very serious impact on St. Anthony. " Council Action Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to adopt Resolution 87-012 with the • modification of wording which would strengthen its message.
