52 Ms. Correll reviewed, in more detail, the various meetings, including three (3) initial stakeholder 53 meetings held throughout the process with residents of the GLWMO; agencies and representative member 54 cities (Shoreview and Roseville) providing input during the process; and the process remaining. 55 56 Ms. Correll noted that, based on the public comment received tonight, as well as that from various 57 agencies and member cities, the next draft of the Third Generation Plan would receive final edits and then 58 go back out for the final ninety (90) day agency review, and subsequent GLWMO Board approval, as 59 previously noted. While noting that this Public Hearing was for the purpose of receiving public 60 comment, Ms. Correll's presentation included detailed opportunities of previous public comment 61 opportunities, as well as the regular and special GLWMO Board meetings that were also open to the 62 public to -date. Ms. Correll listed other stakeholders who had been involved in the process, including lake 63 associations within the GLWMO; residents within the GLWMO, whether lake residents or not; 64 municipalities; Ramsey County; State and Federal agencies and their applicable representatives; and how 65 those meetings and opportunities had served to develop the plan in its current state. 66 67 Ms. Correll briefly summarized the GLWMO's land and water resource inventory; and the broad issues 68 and goals of the Plan, that included studies completed and data collected over the last decade since the 69 last Plan update in 2001; technical advances; and revised and improved standards and criteria related to 70 water quality and the quantity of water resources; monitoring and data assessment; storm water 71 management; and wetland management, as well as other research. 72 73 Ms. Correll advised that the Plan, when finalized and adopted, would provide a specific and detailed 74 implementation plan with a list of activities, their estimated costs, and a projected timeline to accomplish 75 the initiatives, as well as those who will be involved in that implementation. 76 77 At the request of an unidentified audience member (off microphone), Ms. Correll summarized the 78 geographical boundaries of the GLWMO. 79 80 Public Comment 81 Mr. Petersen briefly reviewed meeting protocol, noting that the meeting was being recorded for the 82 record, and officially opened the Public Hearing for public comment at 6:49 p.m. Mr. Petersen advised 83 that the comments expressed would become a part of the formal GLWMO record and published after 84 GLWMO Board approval by year -end. Mr. Petersen advised that the purpose of this Public Hearing was 85 to listen, and noted that therefore, the Board would not be responding to comments tonight, but would 86 take them into consideration as part of their deliberations prior to finalizing the Plan. 87 88 Bob Seybold, 657 Heinel Dr. Roseville 89 Mr. Seybold reported that he knew nothing of the GLWMO Plan, asked why there will be no opportunity 90 for interaction with the Board at this meeting. 91 92 Michael Norton, 815 Heinel Drive (Roseville, south end of Lake Owasso) 93 Mr. Norton stated that he was unclear on the general process undertaken for the Plan; and if it was 94 intended to be an interactive process, why was the Board not responding to comments at tonight's 95 meeting, thereby allowing for an exchange of discussion about the business being undertaken. Mr. 96 Norton opined that the process didn't make any sense to him to be unable to get a satisfactory response 97 tonight. Mr. Norton stated that, to his knowledge, several residents on Lake Owasso were concerned with 98 the Plan; and like him, the first they're heard about the Plan was over the last few months, which didn't 99 allow for a timely fashion for any of them to have meaningful impact on the concepts being discussed. 100 From his perspective, Mr. Norton stated that it seems apparent that there was a breakdown in the 101 interactive requirements for submitting the Plan, especially when the Plan directly impacted their use of 2
