Member Miller volunteered to serve in this capacity, at the discretion of the Board if they chose to <br />appoint him to the position. <br />Motion 11 -08 -08 <br />Member Westerberg moved, and Member Von De Linde seconded the appoitment of GLWMO Board <br />member Jonathan Miller to serve as the Board's Secretary. <br />Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried. <br />Update for 2012 State Grants / Appeal of BWSR Application Policy <br />Mr. Petersen provided a memorandum dated August 17, 2011 and entitled, "BWSR Clean Water Legacy <br />(CWL) Grant Funding;" attached hereto and made a part hereof. Mr. Petersen summarized the request <br />of the GLWMO Board to work with both member cities to submit two (2) CWL grants for funds to <br />supplement the GLWMO's current shoreline and riparian buffer restoration cost -share program and to <br />implement an abandoned / unused well sealing cost -share program. Mr. Petersen advised that it would be <br />the intent that the member cities be the grant applicants, and through a Memorandum of Agreement <br />(MOU), the GLWMO would be responsible for and perform all required and necessary administrative <br />functions, except that payments to either of the cost -share program recipients would be managed through <br />the City of Roseville, as the GLWMO Board's fiscal agent. <br />Mr. Petersen advised that, because the current GLWMO Second Generation Plan expired the end of July, <br />2011 the GLWMO did not qualify for grants during this round; so municipalities would do so. Mr. <br />Petersen advised that he had consulted with Mr. Maloney and Mr. Schwartz from member cities; and they <br />were receptive to applying for the two (2) grants as detailed in Mr. Petersen's memorandum; and as <br />previously presented to the GLWMO Board at their July 21, 2011 meeting via a memorandum jointly <br />prepared by Mr. Petersen and Ms. Correll with EOR, dated July 14, 2011, and outlining various 2012 <br />grant programs available for which the GLWMO may qualify. While not expressing interest in the other <br />grant opportunities outlined in that July 14, 2011 memorandum, the two grant selected were applications <br />for "bricks and mortar" in the ground; and would fit with the goals of the member cities and the <br />GLWMO. <br />Motion 11 -08 -09 <br />Member Miller moved, and Member Westerberg seconded approval to authorize Mr. Petersen to work <br />with both the member cities of Shoreview and Roseville to submit two (2) Clean Water Legacy (CWL) <br />grants requesting funds to supplement the GLWMO's current shoreline and riparian buffer restoration <br />cost -share program; and to implement an abandoned / unused well sealing cost -share program; with the <br />member cities being the actual grant applicants, and through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), the <br />GLWMO would be responsible for and perform all required and necessary administrative functions, <br />except that payments to either of the cost -share program recipients would be managed through the City of <br />Roseville, as the GLWMO Board's fiscal agent. <br />Member Von De Linde spoke in support of the applications. <br />Member Miller concurred; opining that he liked the focus on the "bricks and mortar type projects "; with <br />sizable funding available for lakeshore restoration, a definite need for the GLWMO. <br />Mr. Petersen advised that there was $100,000 available for shorelines and $40,000 for sealing abandoned <br />wells in the grant applications. <br />Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried. <br />17 <br />
