1214 Further discussion ensued regarding protecting versus recharging groundwater to avoid contributing to 1215 further contamination; and whether to specifically design the GLWMO function in the Management 1216 section of the Plan. 1217 1218 Ms. Correll suggested that, for the time being, the "Justification" portion of the Monitoring Program 1219 format remain as currently written; and advised that she would follow up on wording for the GLWMO 1220 charge for appropriate options language. Ms. Correll noted that this was not the only opportunity the 1221 GLWMO Board would have to make changes to this section. 1222 1223 Chair Eckman questioned how the GLWMO could contribute to flooding issues. 1224 1225 Ms. Correll advised that this was through the WMO's monitoring of lake levels and collecting data and 1226 sharing it with other agencies; and by not putting practices in that would negatively impact downstream 1227 sources. From the GLWMO's purview of management standards, Ms. Correll recommended that 1228 "flooding" concerns and issues remain in the language for GLWMO consideration. 1229 1230 Chair Eckman requested that the "Outcome" portion of the Monitoring Program include the addition of 1231 "... and measure the effectiveness of programs (e.g. BMP's, CIP's). Chair Eckman further requested that 1232 the language be clarified between the actual charge for a WMO in an urban area related to groundwater, 1233 and whether there was any differentiation in urban areas. 1234 1235 Member Miller noted that the "groundwater" and "flooding" sections remained in based on the current 1236 motion to ensure management responsibilities were clear. 1237 1238 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried 1239 1240 Recess 1241 Due to another meeting scheduled in the Willow Room at this time, Chair Eckman recessed the GLWMO 1242 Board meeting at 6:28 p.m. to move to the Hawthorn Room, and reconvened at 6:33 p.m. 1243 1244 Technical Support Program Description 1245 Chair Eckman noted previous discussions to creation of and combination of the Citizens Advisory 1246 Committee and the Technical Advisory Committee and whether this could prove too complicated at this 1247 time given current board resources, and asked that Mr. Petersen review the intent for each committee to 1248 clarify their specific assignments for a WMO. 1249 1250 Mr. Petersen noted that Members Barrett, Miller and Westerberg had been selected earlier this evening to 1251 review the specifics. 1252 1253 Motion 11 -09 -15 1254 Member Von De Linde moved, and Member Westerberg seconded, approval of the proposed reformatting 1255 for the Technical Support Program as detailed in the FOR memorandum (page 4); amended to include the 1256 addition of another bullet point to the "Program Specifics" section as follows: 1257 "Hiring a full or part-time technical consultant trained as a water resource hydrologist." 1258 1259 1260 Member Westerberg spoke in support of adding another bullet point in the "Program Specifics" section to 1261 include: "Hiring an engineering consultant to conduct water AND NUTRIENT studies," and as applicable 1262 to include that in the proposed budget. 1263 25
