The purpose of the meeting was to hear about changes <br />in statutes and programs that would have a direct impact on watershed districts and watershed <br />management organizations. <br />This year a similar meeting has been organized to hear directly from BWSR, MPCA, DNR and the Met <br />Council about the session, as well as new programs, rules and sources of funding. In addition, we plan <br />to have the Department of Revenue on hand to explain changes in the property tax system. <br />There was a lot of positive feedback about the last legislative briefing. It provided an opportunity to <br />network with and team what other watersheds were doing. <br />This year, after the agency presentations, we have set aside an hour to discuss the issue of <br />phosphorus: what happened at the session, what others are doing and where things may go in the <br />future. <br />It should be a very informative and enjoyable morning and we hope you will be able to attend. Feel <br />free to bring other members of your watershed board or staff who may not have received an invitation. <br />If you have any questions, contact. Andy Gray at, (612) 673-3457 or andy.grayC~ci.minneapolis.mn.us. <br />We look forward to seeing you. June 26`n <br />Sincerely, <br />Bill Anderson <br />Twin City Metro Area <br />Watershed Network <br />
