The board has suffered from a lack of tenure. The current board tenure averages about two years. I do <br /> not know the reason for the lack of longer term board members, but this causes concern. While I have <br /> no doubt that individual board members are committed and capable,the overall lack of longer term <br /> members is an indication of a lack of commitment and effectiveness of this board and by extension,of <br /> the GLWMO. <br /> Finally,the board showed its weakness by establishing a task force process and then not allowing the <br /> process to reach its conclusion when it became evident the task force might not render the desired <br /> outcome. <br /> Alternative Recommendation <br /> After consideration of the foregoing, I scored the three alternatives based on my assessment of the <br /> probabilities of success for each and concluded the merger with Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed <br /> District, RWMWD,was the best choice. <br /> In my opinion,the board scored the probable effectiveness of the improved GLWMO too highly. By <br /> using the same table contained in the report,deleting all rows which scored equal to all alternatives and <br /> removing the local control criteria, I scored the three alternatives as shown in the table below. <br /> Criteria Weight Improved Merge with Merge with <br /> GLWMO VLAWMO RWMWD <br /> Program Effectiveness 16.67 11.2 16.7 16.7 <br /> Monitoring Capability 14.77 9.9 14.8 14.8 <br /> Education 12.5 8.4 12.5 12.5 <br /> City Cost 8.33 0 8.3 8.3 <br /> Staff Numbers 6.44 4.3 4.3 6.4 <br /> Board Continuity 1.89 0 1.2 1.2 <br /> Total Score 34 58 60 <br /> I didn't change the weight for each criteria,and since not all criteria are listed,the total does not add up <br /> to 100. Also, I filled in each box to the nearest 1/10 and the totals to the nearest whole number. <br /> Clearly, I have a perspective on this, but it is to have an effective and cost/effective watershed <br /> management organization regardless of its form or geographic basis. <br /> I will attend the Roseville Council meeting on November 21st to present my views and answer council <br /> questions. I am sending this out by email due to the time constraints. I am asking that Tom Peterson <br /> forward it to the GLWMO board members and other task force members. I will send it to two other task <br /> force members who attended the November 4th meeting and may share my concerns regarding the <br /> C:\Users\stefjim\Documents\Roseville\GLWMO\GLWMO Minority report.docx <br /> Page 3 <br />
