Hillcrest Knoll Park Dedication <br />Cliff attended the dedication ceremony that was held July 1. The District contributed funding and staff- <br />support to the City of St. Paul's Hoytl/Montana Flood Control Project in this area. He said it is worth the <br />detour off White Bear Avenue if anyone is interested in seeing how nice it turned out. <br />7. TREASURERS REPORT AND BILL LIST <br />Motion: Bob Johnson moved, Roger Lake seconded, to approve the Bill List and also the Supplemental <br />Bill List for July 10, 2002. Motion carried. <br />8. SPECIAL ORDERS <br />Well Sealing Resolution No. 02-08 <br />Motion: Roger Lake moved, Jack Frost seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 02-08 to approve cost share <br />funding for 14 well sealing program applications. Motion carried. <br />Draft 2003 Budget and Work Program Review <br />Cliff went through the items outlined in his July 9 memo. Due to the increased demands of office <br />administration, he discussed several proposed increases in the budget. Adjustments to current program <br />activities were discussed as well. <br />Cliff also presented potential new program initiatives: <br />® Promote Environmental Recreation. A specific program and budget has not been developed, but <br />possible components discussed would include biking, hiking, fishing, bird watching, observation decks <br />requested by schools, and links to existing state and non-profit programs in an effort to increase <br />knowledge and understanding of our water resource and habitat issues. <br />® Wetlands Information Transfer. Implement programs to protect the District's medium to high quality, <br />wetlands by working with adjacent property owners on proper management for habitat improvement <br />(similar to the DNR Neighborhood Wilds Program) and also, with cities to improve open space or <br />greenway corridors. <br />® Watershed Management Plan Update. Several issues have been discussed over the last few years, <br />including the need to revise the District wetland management plan. Plan revisions would not be final <br />until completion of the Phalen Chain of Lakes SLMP in 2004. The public involvement element and <br />public/agency review process would begin in 2004. Website and CD products would also be a spin-off <br />of this update. The estimated budget would be $50,000 for both FY2003 and FY2004. <br />Several program ideas were presented by Board members: <br />® Street cleaning problems. Paul Ellefson asked if the District should invest in capital expenditures or <br />programs to directly resolve the problem. Roger Lake felt that the District should focus on identifying <br />the various dimensions of the problem at this time, not the technique (as suggested through use of a <br />state-of--the-art vacuum street sweeper). Bob Johnson felt that we need to identify the point where the <br />sediment particles can be intercepted and removed in the most cost-effective way. Paul felt that we <br />should at least address the issue as it affects critical wetlands in the District. <br />® NPDES Phase 2. Jack Frost suggested that street sweeping issues may be addressed when enforcement <br />of these new regulations begins next year. Cliff noted that he did not propose to budget for NPDES <br />Phase 2 implementation in 2003 due to the uncertainty of what the minimum compliance issues will be <br />for cities. <br />® Research budget. Paul suggested a significant increase over the $10,000 allocated. Cliff noted that the <br />current budget increased considerably due to the authorization of additional expenditures for the reed <br />canary grass study. Roger suggested identifying our needs first, and Paul agreed that the District could <br />then systematically implement research based on apre-determined plan. <br />Page 4 July 10, 2002 RWMWD Minutes <br />
