Mr. 266 Paschke clarified that the allocation study was not part of this requested action item. 267 Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon arrived at this time, approximately 268 7:15 p.m. 269 City Attorney Charles Bartholdi summarized requested revisions in the document from 270 the last Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Bartholdi noted that the Allocation Study was 271 updated every five (5) years at a minimum, and that such an update was in process at 272 this time. 273 Chapter 1022.04B.3 (2004 Supplemental Groundwater Plan) 274 City Attorney Bartholdi advised that an issue brought up at the last meeting by Sue 275 Steinwall, with Frederickson and Byron, Attorney for one of the Twin Lakes 276 Redevelopment Area Property Owners related to groundwater had prompted further 277 discussion with the City Engineer, who had advised that this language was included in 278 the current ordinance in place and that at this time, there were no intentions to change 279 that language. Mr. Bartholdi advised that, therefore, other than for mandated updates as 280 applicable, there were no recommended changes in that portion of the revised document. 281 Lines 295-296 282 City Attorney Bartholdi advised that, as for wording related to an Environmental 283 Statement and referenced aquifers, that language had been revised related to mitigation, 284 but was not changed to create any effect on the glacial aquifer. 285 Lines 305-306 286 Member Boguszewski noted that the aquifer was still mentioned in that section, and 287 questioned if that was an oversight or if it was intentionally left in the language. 288 City Engineer Debra Bloom responded that the main point of the ordinance was to 289 enforce the AUAR, and to ensure that findings that the City Council previously adopted 290 as part of the AUAR could be mitigated as part of any redevelopment; and since the 291 glacial aquifer was in the AUAR, investigations needed to be done to determine if any 292 contamination of the aquifer had occurred. 293
