358 359 Board consensus was that, in the first paragraph, groups were identified, while not inclusive, for 360 the purpose of building partnerships and relationships to further encourage good stewardship of 361 resources to achieve the WMO's overall mission. 362 363 Comment #301 364 Ms. Correll suggested that, given budget constraints, Chair Eckman's suggestion to include this 365 information in the plan not be provided. 366 367 Chair Eckman suggested that it be linked to the GLWMO Board's website, as it was not common 368 knowledge. 369 370 Comment #306 371 Ms. Correll explained that MnDNR had expressed concern about management responsibilities as 372 laid out in the Draft Plan, which were GLWMO managed, which member city managed, and 373 which cooperatively managed; and the entire Section 5(Management Response) had been revised 374 and completely rewritten; providing a circular reference, similar to responses in Comments #277, 375 217, and #290. 376 377 Ms. Correll was directed to ensure references were consistent. 378 379 Comment #390 380 Ms. Correll was directed to ensure references were consistent for this comment as well. 381 382 Comment 4315 383 Ms. Correll noted that 2011 water quality data had not been evaluated, as data was only included 384 through 2010 when writing the Plan; and sought Board consensus to delete that form the plan. 385 386 For transparency purposes, Chair Eckman advised that her intent was to alert Plan readers that the 387 trend from 2010 was not continuing into 2011; and that wetter years created worse water quality. 388 Chair Eckman suggested that a reminder was needed to remind readers that water quality would 389 change, and would not always show a linear improvement. 390 391 Member Westerberg noted that wet seasons followed by dry seasons also had impacts; and that 392 dry seasons set up wet seasons for increased loading. 393 394 While Chair Eckman indicated that would be an interesting thing to include, Ms. Correll advised 395 that water quality changes were addressed elsewhere in the Plan; and while many similar 396 comments may be interesting to readers, they may not actually be necessary in the Plan. 397 398 Comment #321 399 Regarding this comment on alum, Chair Eckman opined that it was an opportunity to educate 400 residents on the need to not have a lot of motorized activities on lakes in shallow areas or it would 401 defeat the alum treatments. 402 403 Ms. Correll noted that this was another "cut and paste" comment; and advised development of a 404 treatment plan was complicated and would require guidelines for the Board's identification of 405 criteria. 406 407 Ms. Correll was directed to delete Chair Eckman's proposed statement; and advised that she 408 would also note that lake levels were dealt with differently. 8
