Mr. Maloney stated that the first three invoices are from Barr Engineering for <br />services in accordance with the Lake Owasso Study. The invoices presented <br />reflect previously agreed upon services in the work plan. <br />The fourth invoice is from 2004, when GLWMO's cost share of the Vadnais Lake <br />Outlet construction was approved by agreement with Ramsey County. The cost <br />was estimated at $18,000; the actual cost billed to GLWMO is $12,076.31. <br />Ramsey County was able to get Mn/DOT to include the work with the "Unweave <br />the Weave" project on I-694. <br />Mogg asked if there is a signed agreement for maintenance. M r. Aichinger <br />responded that Ramsey County will maintain the inlet and outlet to the pipe. <br />Mogg moved to approve payment of invoices. Stark seconded. <br />Ayes-4 Nays-0. <br />D. Other Business <br />D-1. "Minnesota Water -Let's Keep It Clean" Program Request for <br />Participation & Support <br />Mr. Maloney stated that all watershed districts have been asked to participate in <br />the Minnesota Water -Let's Keep It Clean program. <br />Mr. Aichinger explained that contributions are made to a pool to buy ad spots for <br />metro-wide education programs. The group works strictly on watershed <br />education. It is money well spent and supported by Ramsey/Washington every <br />year. If supported, it should be part of the education budget. <br />Mr. Schwartz noted that this contribution would be on GLWMO's report card. <br />Mr. Maloney added that this larger metro-wide effort is beyond anything any one <br />group could do. A contribution would allow GLWMO to report its involvement in <br />this effort of education and outreach. <br />Mogg questioned the program, noting that brochures are passed out about <br />problems with leaf cuttings, yet leaves are being collected and put on the top of <br />the watershed. They are a potential source of nutrients getting into Lake Owasso. <br />It is a cross message. Mr. Aichinger responded that the brochures ask people to <br />not dump leaves in the street or in streams. Composting leaves is one option of <br />proper disposal. <br />Eckman stated that she would support a contribution of $2,000 as requested. <br />Eckman moved to fund the education program, Minnesota Water -Let's Keep It <br />Clean" in the amount of $2,000, for 2008. DeZellar seconded. <br />Ayes - 3 Nays - 1 (Mogg). <br />
