He indicated the City is operating under a process called adaptive management, <br />which is a pollution control standard, and felt that the City's current efforts will help the City <br />achieve its goals. He added that the measures currently in place should perform and the City <br />should not need extra credit; however, if the City does not achieve its goals, then the City will <br />need to evaluate what it has done and find new ways to reduce pollutants. <br />Mayor Faust asked if the MWMO has been approached to provide assistance for this project. <br />City Engineer Hubmer replied they are looking for other financial partners, including MWMO. <br />Motion by Councilmember Roth, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Resolution <br />11 -082; Accepting and Approving the Grant Agreement between the City of St. Anthony Village <br />and the Rice Creek Watershed District for Construction of the Central Park Biofiltration System. <br />Motion carried 4 -0. <br />D.
