GRASS LAKE WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION AGENDA ITEM Date: 04/28/05 Prepared by: Mark Maloney Item: D-3 Other Business Item Description: 2004 Activity Report Card Discussion Based upon recommendations from the 2001 Watershed Management Plan, GLWMO has implemented a Report Card system for accountability of annual City and WMO water management activities. The Board has previously indicated a desire to review the self- assessment of the Cities of Roseville and Shoreview in April of the year. Recommendations for city activities that have local government budget implications could potentially then be considered as part of the annual Public Works/Storm Water Management Activity budgets for the up-coming year. Both cities completed their self-assessment for 2004 activities, and copies were forwarded to Cliff Aichinger of RWMWD for independent review. Mr. Aichinger will be available to comment on the 2004 assessments. The areas of the cities' assessments that indicate lack of progress or non-compliance for 2004 have to do with water quality, aesthetics and habitat monitoring. Both cities are pursuing contractual arrangements with RWMWD for the provision of services that would address those goals for 2005 and the future. In addition, the Board may wish to discuss potential revisions to the form used for the Annual City Report Card. The communities through their compliance with NPDES Ph. 2 MS4 permitting requirements have essentially addressed a significant number of the specific areas of self-assessment and the answers/responses won't change in the future. The Board should discuss the City Report Cards and consider authorizing the posting of the information on the GLWMO website and officially forwarding them to the Cities of Roseville and Shoreview. The Board should also discuss the preparation and disposition of the WMO's self-assessment.
