BCWMO HEARING A public hearing will be conducted on July 31, 1996, by the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District to consider a petition by the City of Oak. Park Heights to dissolve the BCWMO. The Council, in the past, has supported either granting additional authority to the WMO to make it more effective in caring out its duties or establishing a watershed district to replace the WMO. It is likely that, if it is determined to dissolve BCWMO, it will be combined with another watershed district in order to provide sufficient tax base for full-time employees. The Council's position regarding that matter has been documented, so no further action is necessary. The Council then discussed May Township's dissolution of their Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Hugo. The Mayor has suggested that a final joint meeting be held to notify residents of the status of the project. It was determined that the Mayor will appear before the May Town Board at their meeting of August 1, 1996.
