'^~ater BilllBoard <br />enments to the <br />tr istric ct <br />103 ) <br />Per diem <br />Per diem increases from $50 to $55 per day <br />atershed District Advisory Committees <br />The bill establishes an annual appointment <br />schedule for the committee and provides for <br />specific duties, including: <br />selecting a chair <br />selecting a recorder <br />•establishing a meeting schedule, which at <br />a minimum means one meeting per year <br />•considering issues pertinent to the role of <br />the district <br />•reviewing and commenting on reports, <br />activities, etc., of the watershed district managers <br />•reporting to the managers the <br />general context of the advisory <br />committee meetings and mak- <br />ing recommendations. <br />The law also allows greater flexibility in the <br />appointment of advisory committee members by <br />changing requirements that they be county <br />commissioners or SWCD supervisors and <br />allowing representatives of county <br />commissioners or SWCD supervisors to serve. In <br />addition, they must no longer be residents of the <br />watershed district. <br />SR plan guidance <br />The law allows BWSR to adopt guidelines for <br />watershed plan content. <br />atershed district authority to acquire state- <br />owned land <br />The changes expand the authority of watershed <br />districts to acquire state-owned land for all <br />projects under M.S. 103E (the Minnesota <br />Drainage Law). Previously, they had only been <br />allowed to acquire these lands specifically for <br />drainage projects. They must still obtain all <br />necessary permits. <br />Project. appeals <br />The law specifies that projects done under M.S. <br />1038.201 (the Metropolitan Surface Water <br />Management Act) by watershed districts wholly <br />within the metro area cannot be appealed to the <br />BWSR under M.S. 103D (the Watershed District <br />Act). Recently, there have been attempt to delay <br />or prevent 1036 projects through petitions to the <br />BWSR under M.S. 103D. <br />In addition, the changes remove the authority of <br />the BWSR to hear appeals on individual permit <br />decisions or work orders of watershed districts, <br />although the board can informally help resolve <br />conflicts.. Appeals can be taken to district court. <br />The BWSR retains the authority to hear appeals <br />relating to the rules of watershed districts. <br />Metro ditches <br />The law makes some changes in recognition of <br />the unique difficulties of managing drainage <br />systems within the metro area. Before the <br />changes, the watershed district was required to <br />assess costs of repair, maintenance or <br />improvement of drainage projects against the <br />benefited properties. This system no longer <br />worked well in the metro area because it had <br />become so difficult and costly to figure out the <br />correct assessment based on benefits; in some <br />cases, the cost of the assessment surpassed the <br />cost of the project. This change allows <br />metropolitan watershed districts greater flexibility <br />in determining the most appropriate methods to <br />finance ditch projects. <br />Changes to the innesot <br />Water tanning Act <br />The Comprehensive Local Water Planning <br />Program (M.S. 1036.301) <br />The law changes the effective dates of plans so <br />that they are now effective for somewhere <br />4 <br />
