<br />The General City .Support item is for Roseville and Shoreview staff time and expenses used to <br />prepare agendas, attend meetings, and accomplish routine business associated with GLWMO. <br />Staff time for 1996 has not. yet been billed, but is estimated to be approximately $6,000. <br />Each year approximately $6,000 is budgeted for lake water quality testing by Ramsey County. <br />This service is to be billed annually to GLWMO. Currently, Ramsey County continues to <br />provide this service, but is five years behind in its billing. A recent conversation with Terry <br />Noonan of Ramsey County confirmed that GLWMO will be billed for these services in 1997, but <br />not retroactively for the previous years. <br />The following 1997 Project Budget is suggested: <br />Public Education Project(s) $20,000 <br />The approved 1996 Project Budget included an allowance of $30,600 far Phase 2 of the Lake <br />Water Quality planning which was initiated two years ago. Phase 2 was expected to include <br />additional water qualitysampling and the development of more specific goals and objectives to <br />improve water quality. Phase 1 Reports on he water quality of the major water bodies within the <br />watershed were completed last year, and the results previously discussed with the Board. It was <br />recommended that no additional water quaiit~~ planning be performed in 1996, which is reflected <br />b5~ the current fund balance. Staff recommends that a more aggressive public education be made <br />in 1997, in an effort to address :water. quality. concerns for major waterbodies in the Watershed.: <br />The proposed 1997 Budget is: <br />General Operating Budget $19,000 <br />Project Budget 20 000 <br />TOTAL $39,000 <br />As of 3uly, 1996, the cash balance in the GLWMO .Fund is $ 58,346. Of this amount, <br />approximately $8,000 is encumbered to pay. operating expenses through the remainder of 1996.. <br />As such, the available cash reserve for 1997. is approximately $ 50,000. Accordingly, based on <br />the preliminary GLWMO 1997 budget and the available cash reserve, it does not .appear <br />necessary that the cities of Shoreview and Roseville need to contribute for the GLWNIO' s 1997. <br />operation_ <br />
