VersionUpdated5/3/21AnokaCountyC000____ 5.2. The Group has developed a work plan to carry out orderly wellhead protection activities. The Group will periodically review the work plan and update it as necessary to efficiently meet the needs of the parties. 5.3. Prior to implementation of each wellhead protection project, the Group Facilitator will send notice to the Cities of the cost identified for the project. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice, each city must either send a letter to the Group Facilitator indicating the city's interest in participation in the project or notify the other parties of its intention to refrain from participation in the project. In the event a city fails to indicate a reply, that city shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the project. 5.4. If one or more city chooses to refrain from participation following receipt of notice provided in 5.3, the Group Facilitator will recalculate the costs identified with participation in the project and send notice of the recalculated cost to the remaining cities. If identified costs increase by more than 10%, each of the remaining cities will have thirty (30) days to reconsider participation in the project. If a city chooses to withdraw, the city must send the Group Facilitator a letter, within the ten day period, indicating the city will refrain from participation in the project. If an additional city or cities choose to withdraw, the Group will reevaluate the work plan and associated costs before sending a new notice under 5.3. 5.5. If the proposed project will benefit a city that desires to refrain from the project and that city cannot be removed from the project, and a majority of the Group affirm moving forward, that city may not refrain from participation. 6.
