Arden Hills should support the <br />RCWD water quality programs for schools. <br /> <br />4) Convene a citizen board to work with City Staff in planning a comprehensive Water Management <br />Plan. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />5) Request that Rice Creek Watershed District promptly notifY AH staff of any new projects that <br />potentially impact AH waters.
