The Grass Lake Water Management Organization (GLWMO) was created in December 1983, and functions through an ongoing Joint Powers Agreement between the cities of Roseville and Shoreview, MN. In the past, the role of the GLWMO Board has been predominantly policy making, with many of the day -to -day management responsibilities of the Organization carried out through the Public Works staffs of the respective communities. For the future, however, GLWMO envisions evolving into a more creative planning and facilitative Board. GLWMO will have a greater involvement in long -term planning of CIP programs by partnering with the respective cities. Partnership will lead to infrastructure development that impinges on water resources within the catchment. You will be expected to incorporate contents of the GLWMO's existing Second Generation 509 Plan, revising and amending it as needed to meet minimum requirements of BWSR under Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410. In addition to those Plan elements specifically required under 8410.0050, the Grass Lake Water Management Organization requires at least the following components to be incorporated into the Plan.
