Minutes/April 28, 2005 Page 3 member Soderbeck asked if the scope of services could be further defined and be date specific, and had some questions regarding Mr. Aichinger's impression of the Web development portion of the scope of services. Board member Branch suggested that the next GLWMO agenda include a report from. Mr. Aichinger on the status/future of the GLWMO web site as well as a schedule for plantlhabitat survey on one of the major water bodies in the District. Branch moved to approve the proposed scope of services and authorize a formal agreement with Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District for 2005 services, Soderbeck seconded. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 D-3 2004 Activity Report Card Discussion Maloney gave background information regarding GLWMO's Report Card system for accountability of annual City and WMO water management activities. The timing of the consideration of the Report Card was intended to provide the cities with an opportunity to address needs, deficiencies, etc. at the time of development of the Public Works/Storm Water Management Activity budgets for the up-coming year. Both cities had previously completed their self-assessment for 2004 activities, and copies were forwarded to Cliff Aichinger of RWMWD for independent review. It was pointed out that the areas of the cities' assessments that indicate lack of progress ornon-compliance for 2004 had to do with water quality, aesthetics and habitat monitoring. Maloney stated that both cities were pursuing contractual arrangements with RWMWD for the provision of services that would address those goals for 2005 and the future that would run coincident with those services being provided to GLWMO. Soderbeck asked for further clarification regarding the cities plans for water quality and habitat monitoring for city-managed water bodies, and asked that GLWMO be presented with future MS4 Annual Reports from the cities. There was a general discussion about the potential for significant impervious surface ratios and future land use to change throughout the District, and acknowledgement that the 2001 Plan didn't indicate any areas of dramatic change. There was consensus that the Annual Report Card information should be posted on the GLWMO website, and forwarded to the cities. It was suggested that perhaps that the board members could individually work with the GLWMO Report Card form and come up with a consensus prior to the next meeting. E. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m. Meeting Minutes taken/prepared by Mark Maloney, City of Shoreview
