1 2 Ayes: 5 3 Nays: 0 4 Motion carried. 5 6 Member Eckman moved, and Member Von De Linde seconded, approval of a final invoice 7 presented at the meeting by Mr. Schwartz for reimbursement of the cost of pizza provided for the 8 Special GLWMO workshop held on September 23, 2010. 9 10 Chair Ferrington thanked Mr. Schwartz for taking care of that item for the Board. 11 12 Ayes: 5 13 Nays: 0 14 Motion carried. 15 16 Mr. Schwartz noted that the Board may wish to address the rather cumbersome current practice 17 of paying bills, noting the need to pay them more periodically than quarterly or allow Roseville 18 city staff more leeway in prepaying bills for reimbursement by the Board at their quarterly 19 meetings, given existing audit requirements for payment of invoices within thirty (30) days. 20 21 Chair Ferrington suggested including this discussion of a process for payment of invoices in a 22 timelier manner, at the November 30, 2010 meeting. 23 24 Mr. Petersen suggested discussion for the 2011 meeting schedule of the possibility of meeting 25 every other month. 26 27 Request for Board review of plan to repair weir at Lake Wabasso Outlet 28 Chair Ferrington presented his response to Mr. Craig Wills, the Metropolitan Area Hydrologist 29 with the DNR, regarding the above referenced weir repairs, hoping he would accept his response 30 on behalf of the Board. However, Chair Ferrington noted that Mr. Wills did not achnowledge it 31 as being representative of the GLWMO Board. Chair Ferrington advised that Mr. Wills was 32 poised to consider issuing the permit on October 29, 2010; and asked that the Board provide its 33 endorsement of the Chair's letter, or modifications as applicable to meet that timeframe, and 34 ensure the Board's opinion was considered in the permit review process. 35 36 Mr. Petersen suggested that a future agenda consider discussion on the process to respond to 37 future DNR permit review requests. 38 39 Chair Ferrington provided background and timing for requirements of the request and a previous 40 e -mail correspondence following a site visit. 41 42 During the site visit it was learned that a steel plate under the downstream side of weir was 43 already in place. However, both Ramsey Conservation District and Chair Ferrington 44 recommended another plat be put in place on the lake -side of the weir to discourage muskrats 45 from burrowing to circumvent the other plate and causing leakage under and/or around the weir. 12
