Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 26,2012 Page 5 maining funds to be split 50/50 by the member cities, Roseville and Shoreview, at that time. Mr. Schwartz reviewed the proposed schedule, as outlined in the RCA, for the in- terim between the GLWMO Board's decision of March 22, 2012, and dissolution of the WMO by June 21, 2012. Mr. Schwartz advised that representatives of Ramsey-Washington Metro Water- ' shed District (RWMWD) were willing to come to a Roseville City Council meet- ing to make a presentation on the activities of the WMO and services for residents of the GLWMO geographical area and its constituents. Mr. Schwartz noted that the petition (Attachment B) included in the packet would require some additional revisions (additions of dates), as well as clarifying on page 5 the specific Minnesota State Statutes103d.261, as directed by the State ear- lier today. Mr. Schwartz advised that the Statutes referred to two different types of enlargement process, but the one specific for this merger was addressed in Statute 103d.261. City Manager Malinen suggested that the DRAFT resolution (Attachment A) be revised to reference the petition (Attachment B) for the purposes of continuity. Mayor Roe sought clarification on the status of the GLWMO's DRAFT Third Generation Water Management Plan, whether the RWMWD would adopt it as part of their overall plan or if it would fade away as the new entity absorbed the GLWMO. Mr. Schwartz advised that the DRAFT Third Generation Plan would be forwarded to the RWMWD; and that the RWMWD would be required within a year of the boundary change to adopt either that Plan or some form of a revised plan into their Watershed Management Plan. Mr. Schwartz advised that he anticipated that they would incorporate the GLWMO Plan into their overall Plan. Mayor Roe questioned if Mr. Schwartz anticipated that the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) would split the GLWMO geographical area between oth- er existing Districts, or expand the RWMWD boundaries, keeping the GLWMO area intact. Mr. Schwartz advised that he anticipated that the GLWMO would remain within the RWMWD; and funds collected from storm water funds be applied specifically as applicable. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen advised that, with the elimi- nation of the need for the City of fund he GLWMO, and the return to the City of any unused GLWMO fund balance, annual storm water fees would be reviewed between capital and operating needs, and adjusted accordingly.
