1315 Member Miller questioned if it should be removed from the goal level, but put explicitly in the Plan, not <br />1316 the cover letter, but as part of the Mission or Introductory Statement. <br />1317 <br />1318 Mr. Conrad advised that it would work there as well; clarifying that EOR's only concern was that it not be <br />1319 listed as a goal. <br />1320 <br />1321 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried <br />1322 <br />1323 Clarify the WMO's Intent in Managing Lake Levels <br />1324 Ms. Correll, with the Board's approval, proposed that FOR revise language and return to the October 6, <br />1325 2011 Special GLWMO Board meeting with a recommendation that would strike Goal 1.3 and more <br />1326 clearly articulate the GLWMO's role in lake level management in Section 5.1.1 Management <br />1327 Responsibilities Framework. <br />1328 <br />1329 Mr. Conrad noted that this would provide further focus on what a WMO could do. <br />1330 <br />1331 Chair Eckman noted that the BWSR had encouraged the GLWMO to say concentrate its focus on a few <br />1332 things that were realistic, and to spell out what the GLWMO was not going to do to ensure expectations <br />1333 were in line with deliverables. <br />1334 <br />1335 Mr. Conrad suggested language could state that the " GLWMO will work with communities or groups..." <br />1336 to do certain projects or initiatives, still providing evidence that the GLWMO remained involved, even <br />1337 recognizing a limited staff and budget. <br />1338 <br />1339 Further discussion included EOR's preference to meet directly with representatives of the MPCA and <br />1340 DNR for further clarification of their comments and to allow free discussion without a representative of <br />1341 the GLWMO present; MPCA levels of detail providing specificity for FOR recommended responses; and <br />1342 frustrations of FOR staff in unanticipated expectations and subsequent comments from the agencies since <br />1343 the agencies had been involved throughout the process; and the need for FOR staff to address lake <br />1344 classifications and categories for storm water ponds and other water bodies to ensure there was no <br />1345 confusion for the public (e.g. Shoreview Lake, not a pond). <br />1346 <br />1347 Member Von De Linde thanked FOR staff for taking the time to review the recommendations in detail <br />1348 with the Board. <br />1349 <br />1350 Chair Eckman thanked those visitors in attendance at tonight's meeting. <br />1351 <br />1352 Adiourn <br />1353 Motion 11 -09 -17 <br />1354 Member Miller moved, and Member Westerberg seconded adjournment of the meeting at approximately <br />1355 7:08 p.m. <br />1356 <br />1357 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. <br />1358 <br />27 <br />
