52 53 Chair Eckman noted that the October 6, 2011 Special Meeting minutes would be held for approval at the 54 November 17th Regular GLWMO Board meeting. 55 56 Public Comment Period 57 Len Ferrington, Lake Owasso Resident 58 Mr. Ferrington advised that, during the September 22, 2011 GLWMO meeting, he had asked to provide 59 written comments to the board, but had not had them available at that time. Mr. Ferrington advised that 60 he had provided his written comments to Mr. Petersen after the September 22, 2011 Board meeting; 61 asked that the GLWMO Board formally accept those written comments at this time to replace lines #I 18- 62 159 of the GLWMO Board meeting minutes. 63 64 Chair Eckman noted that this portion of the meeting was for public comment, and usually not a time for 65 Board action. 66 67 Member Westerberg moved, and Member Von De Linde seconded, acceptance of Mr. Ferrington's two - 68 page written comments as a contribution to the September 22, 2011 GLWMO Board meeting minutes, 69 replacing lines 118 -159. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 70 71 Mr. Maloney noted that it was unusual to accept an amendment to meeting minutes after the fact, when 72 those minutes had already been approved; and from an advisory capacity, cautioned Board Members from 73 doing something so highly irregular by revising the minutes in this manner, opining that this may cause 74 misinterpretation from the perspective of people observing the functions of the GLWMO Board. Mr. 75 Maloney noted that the meeting minutes should reflect the actual happenings at the time of the Board 76 meeting. 77 78 Member Barrett arrived at this time, approximately 4:12 p.m. 79 80 After further discussion, and with Members Westerberg and Von De Linde rescinding their previous 81 motion, it was Board member consensus that Mr. Ferrington's written comments related to lines 118-159 82 of the September 22, 2011 Special GLWMO Board meeting be accepted as a bench handout as part of 83 tonight's meeting record. Mr. Ferrington provided a copy of his written comments, attached hereto and 84 made apart hereof, to Mr. Petersen. 85 86 Items for Discussion, Information, and Possible Action 87 a) Reimburse RCD for 3`d Quarter BMW /Cost -share program expenses 88 Mr. Petersen submitted the Third Quarter Reimbursement Request from Ramsey Conservation 89 District, noting that the invoice ( #10411GL) was in the amount of 5,382.50. As the entire contract 90 amount for 2011 cast -share projects with the RCD was $6,500, Mr. Petersen noted that the remaining 91 fund balance was only $3,802.00, with previous reimbursement for first and second quarter BMP 92 cost -share program services at $2,698. Therefore, Mr. Petersen recommended Board approval of 93 reimbursement to the RCD in the amount of $3,802, as the additional monies were outside the 94 parameters of cost -share funds approved by the GLWMO Board. 95 96 After Board approval of the $3,802, Mr. Petersen suggested that the GLWMO Board may wish to 97 consider amending the RCD contract tonight, authorizing an additional $1,500 to cover costs incurred 98 during the fourth quarter of 2011; as detailed in his memorandum dated October 18, 2011. 99 100 Motion 11- 1OR -03 101 Member Miller moved, and Member Westerberg seconded approval of reimbursement of $3,802 for 102 RCD Invoice #10411GL. 2
