405 Discussion ensued regarding the BWSR checklist and process for implementing the TAC; intent for the 406 joint citizen/advisory standing committee to address any topic assigned by the GLWMO Board; similar 407 operations noted by Mr. Schwartz for other WD's in Roseville and their operations, and typical 408 invitations to invite staff from member cities to be a part of that group, whether specific items of concern, 409 but particularly when it was reviewing any regulatory changes that could impact member cities. 410 411 Chair Eckman asked that, when Member Westerberg prepared the GLWMO Board's charge to the TAC, 412 that he includes identification of potential projects, as well as noting that appropriate member city staff 413 would be part of the group. Chair Eckman also requested that Member Westerberg and Mr. Petersen 414 provide an appropriate name for the group that would address its intent, allowing for the TAC to develop 415 their thought processes from the name of the group. Chair Eckman suggested that Ms. Lewis with BWSR 416 would be a good resource for that discussion and consideration. 417 418 Motion 11 -07 -08 419 Member Miller moved, and Member Von Dc Linde seconded authorization to Member Westerberg and 420 Mr. Petersen to develop a recruiting process and approach five (5) people for the core group for this 421 advisory committee; and create a draft description of the GLWMO Board's expectations for the 422 Committee. 423 424 Action Step 425 Member Westerberg and Mr. Petersen to follow up as outlined with five (5) individuals; and to consult 426 with Ms. Lewis at BWSR on an appropriate name for the group. 427 428 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 429 430 Task Force Committee Membership 431 Chair Eckman noted that previous meeting minutes indicated that names were to be available at tonight's 432 meeting; however, due to vacation schedules, she had not completed that charge, but would provide a 433 progress report instead. Chair Eckman noted that it was the original instruction from the GLWMO Board 434 to have member city mayors recommend a person for the task force. 435 436 Chair Eckman advised that the intent for the task force was to have five (5) citizens joint five (5) 437 GLWMO Board members to provide due diligence to research governance and finance options needed to 438 implement the Third Generation Plan. Chair Eckman clarified that this didn't preclude the two cities 439 from analyzing options for the future operation of GLWMO, e.g., having member cities continue 440 pursuing special storm water utility fees to support the Third Generation Plan in 2012 and beyond; and 441 opined that the due diligence was important to look at possibilities in depth; and to assign the task force 442 with vital research to explore thoroughly the data, analyze it, and report back to the full GLWMO Board 443 for recommendation to member cities. 444 445 Chair Eckman advised that previous discussions suggested that the makeup of the task force consist of 446 approaching the mayors of each member city for the names of 1 -2 citizens to approach to determine their 447 interest, settling on one citizen representative for each member city; a representative sought from the 448 Chamber of Commerce having a business within the GLWMO; a civic - minded individual from the area 449 Senior Forum amenable to doing research; and a representative of the area League of Women Voters. 450 While sounding easy, Chair Eckman advised that, given the limited size of the GLWMO, it had proven a 451 tall order; and finding the right citizens with the appropriate skill set was difficult. 452 453 Chair Eckman advised that she and Mr. Petersen had initially developed a two (2) page recruitment 454 document, previously copied to the GLWMO Board by e -mail and having received no comments from 455 individual members' to -date. 9
