500 Mr. Schwartz sought clarification on how some City road projects would fall under that category, and 501 how responsibility would be allotted for cities to meet those rules; with Ms. Correll clarifying that the 502 Implementation Plan budget incorporated comprehensive goals of a specific project and related costs; 503 with the City (ies) responsible for additional amenities and/or costs for anything above and beyond. Mr. 504 Schwartz noted that not all activities would be included under the GLWMO Implementation Plan, but that 505 cities had an entirely other independent set of rules for their activities, in addition to external reduction 506 goals by the GLWMO. 507 508 Ms. Correll concurred and noted that it would also be applicable for any other private development with 509 the GLWMO cost -share set up to go beyond rules for mitigation; but that the TMDL broke things down 510 more specifically, such as what types of BMP's and types of projects would be most effective in the 511 watershed, creating the potential for minor plan amendments as previously referenced; and could be 512 designed to break things down even more and delegate which projects were whose responsibility. 513 514 Further Board member, FOR and City staff discussion included benefits for member cities from any 515 improvement project to reduce internal loads and TMDL reductions in meeting their MS4 requirements; 516 and most watershed districts, unlike WMO's, fielding the full responsibility for BMP's. 517 518 During the meeting, bench handouts were provided, attached hereto and made a part hereof, comprising 519 Mr. Petersen's e- mailed comments (dated 5.23.11) to the GLWMO Board and Ms. Correll on the 520 Preliminary Draft. Ms. Correll had also provided several memorandums from FOR staff, attached hereto 521 and made a part hereof, with Chair Eckman duly noting that these four (4) items were provided for 522 discussion purposes only for the preliminary DRAFT Third Generation Plan, and not meant to reflect any 523 final Plan provisions at this time.
