Mr. Johnson concurred, noting the assessment section would have more information or call outs, with some growing or multiplying from the current plan; and as one issue was taken care of, the next target to be considered downstream. • Localized flooding issues • Water quality impairments • Operations and maintenance • Education, outreach and collaboration • Others? Chair Cihacek noted the request for a"Resiliency Goal" in the plan update. Proposed Schedule Ms. Nestingen reviewed the proposed schedule for the plan update,working toward completion of an initial draft by early January,prior to the scheduled meeting 43 of SEH with the PWETC on February 28, 2017. Ms. Nestingen noted that the intent would then be to incorporate the PWETC input into the next draft and submit it to the Metropolitan Council and three area watershed districts for their 45 — 90 day review periods; anticipating their agency approvals by April of 2017. Ms. Nestingen advised that any revisions from those agencies would then be incorporated and presented to the City Council for their review and subsequent adoption in May of 2017. General Discussion Discussion included the ramifications if the city did not complete the update, as part of the comprehensive plan update, essentially tied to future funding opportunities. Chair Cihacek asked staff and Ms. Nestingen for the next iteration of the document at their earliest convenience, and well before meeting 43 to allow the PWETC to have an opportunity for review prior to then and hopefully submit any comments to staff for their response prior to doing so during meeting time, especially given the large (approximately 60 pages) and technical nature of the document. Mr. Johnson noted the link for the current plan and advised that the updated plan would be similar in content, with updated goals and policies. To save time, Mr. Johnson encouraged the PWETC to review that document in more detail to alert them to any potential areas of conflict or creating obvious content issues for discussion prior to the next meeting. At the request of Member Seigler, Chair Cihacek noted estimated the costs for implementing the goals and policies were included in the plan itself. However, Member Seigler asked that the specific cost for the city be incorporated. Ms. Nestingen clarified that that those costs were identified in the Implementation Plan Table 15 (current plan) as the approach in the last update. Page 18 of 20
