79 Shoreview has two vacancies on the Board at this time and may appoint one or two interim <br />80 members to allow the Board to conduct its business in the interim. <br />81 POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />82 The City Comprehensive Plan and Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plans support <br />83 environmental stewardship and compliance watershed organizations and water quality regulatory <br />84 goals. The city is obligated to comply with state and federal water regulations. The city support <br />85 watershed management in the most effective and efficient means. <br />86 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS <br />87 The City of Roseville currently funds 50% of the Grass Lake WMO budget through its Storm <br />88 Utility Fund which is fee supported across the entire city. If the organization is dissolved the <br />89 watershed management function will eventually be merged into another watershed by the State <br />90 Board of Water and Soil Resources. The surrounding watershed organizations have their own <br />91 taxing or utility fee authority for properties within their jurisdiction. <br />92 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />93 Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution rejecting the proposed revised joint <br />94 powers agreement language and petitioning dissolution of the organization. We feel this is in the <br />95 best long term interests of the city and protection of the water resources. <br />96 REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />97 Motion to adopt a Resolution rejecting proposed Grass Lake Water Management Organization <br />98 Joint Powers language and to petition dissolution. <br />99 <br />Prepared by: Duane Schwartz, Public Works Director <br />Attachments: A.
