REVIEW OF FISCAL YEAR 2003 BUDGET & WORK PROGRAM, APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY LEVY Cliff Aichinger reported on his attendance at Tuesday's Washington County Board of Commissioners meeting, at which time all watershed organizations within the county were asked to make a short presentation on their proposed 2003 budgets. Copies of his presentation materials were distributed to Board members. Before proceeding with discussion of specific budget line items, Roger asked each manager to talk about their perspectives and philosophies towards the budget as proposed. As each manager spoke, there was agreement that the final budget total was a secondary issue. There was more concern that individual budget items were appropriate for District involvement at this time and that the expenditures can be justified to the public. Discussion was held on the spend-down of carry-over funds and how it has affected the proposed 2003 levy. Cliff stated that when funds are set aside in the CIB budget in anticipation of a future project, they are dedicated for CIB purposes. If the District finds it necessary to change the scope of a project or discontinue the project due to unforeseen circumstances, the funds within the CIB budget can be shifted to other projects. Roger suggested that the public review and comment information should identify and. explain can•y-over fund situations, as well as considerable grant monies.. Capital Improvements Budget Section No changes were made to the CIB budget items. Roger suggested that the District start to look at the issue of significant sedimentation in ponds, to see if they are working as designed; and how they can be returned to their designed condition. Considering the large number of ponds throughout the District-that would need to be studied, it couldbecome a significant CIB project. `Cliff reported that staff is already planning to monitor the outlet at Gervais Mill Pond for that very purpose, which could be a good example to start with. The inventorying work has the potential as a collaborative project that could qualify for grant monies, and it could assist the cities with NPDES Phase 2 compliance. It was felt that the issue should be incorporated into the Watershed Management Plan update. Page 2 September 4, 2002 RWMWD Minutes
