Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 28, 2011 Page 17 Mayor Roe noted the need for this item to return to the City Council for future ac- tion; and asked that staff provide a clear recommendation, as well as feedback from the City of Shoreview, prior to or as part of the staff report for making that decision. Mayor Roe noted that indications from the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) were that they would not allow the existing JPA to continue with current budgeting requests; and that they were prompting the proposed re- vised JPA. Mayor Roe noted that the proposed JPA did not provide the City much input over rates for GLWMO site area parcels, constraining the City's range of action; while noting that the City did not have much say in the rates for other WSD's other than through direct citizen connection and comment to them. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Schwartz estimated approxi- mately 3,500 parcels in Roseville included in the GLWMO, with a similar number of parcels in the City of Shoreview. Duane Schwartz stated that Rice Creek Watershed District is significantly larger. No one from the public appeared to speak on this issue. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Schwartz addressed the timeframe for City Council action related to storm water utility fees, noting that those fees could be implemented when directed by the City Council; however the Third Generation Plan would not be approved at the state level until an amended JPA was approved by member cities. Mayor Roe asked that staff provide specific information on how long the Plan could remain unapproved at the state level before they took action; and how and if a utility fee for GLWMO could be worked into quarterly utility billings in con- junction with state constraints and compliance requirements. Mr. Schwartz advised that he would continue to consult with the GLWMO Board and provide results of any Shoreview City Council actions. 14.
