Grass Lake Water Mgmt Org 3 ftl Gen 509 Plan Task 1.1 Stakeholder Group Formation and Input Meetings Description: The EOR team will prepare a list of stakeholder group members as identified in Task 1.0 who will be invited to all stakeholder group input meetings. The stakeholder group will include municipal representatives, representatives from standing advisory committees for Roseville and Shoreview, representatives of key stakeholder groups (e.g. Snail Lake Improvement District, Lake Owasso Homeowners Association and the Lake Wabasso groups currently being developed), the RCD, other citizens interested in participating in the plan development process and state and federal agency staff including the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. Three stakeholder group meetings will be held over the course of the plan development process. The meetings will be organized as open house events and allow for direct interaction with EOR staff to facilitate the education of participants as well a collect input on the plan. Members of the GLWMO Board will also be encouraged to attend the stakeholder meetings to provide their input as citizens, residents of the WMO and as Board representatives. The first stakeholder group meeting will present an overview of the state of the WMO's water and land resources. The second meeting will focus on a discussion of issues, goals, and policies for the GLWMO. The third stakeholder group meeting will focus on a discussion of implementation actions including the options in the Lake Owasso Use Attainability Assessment, options identified by EOR throughout the watershed, and options identified by stakeholders (e.g. meeting in Task 1.3). Where these meetings fall within the overall plan development process is highlighted on the project timeline. Deliverables: Meeting summaries (3) and a document describing the various stakeholder groups involved in the plan development process including these groups' main concerns regarding the quality and management of the resources. These documents will be included in the final plan. Task 1.2 Meetings with GLWMO Planning Process Representative(s) Description: The EOR team expects that the GLWMO will select one point of contact or a plan development sub committee to coordinate and guide the plan development process. EOR will meet with the Planning Process Representative(s) four times during the development of the GLWMO plan. The meetings will occur once a month for the first four months of the planning process. The objective of the meetings will be to maintain clear lines of communication between the GLWMO and the project consultant during the plan development process. As such, the focus of these meetings will be to update the GLWMO on project status, project budget as well as coordinating details of the planning process (e.g. setting meeting dates, providing guidance on stakeholder meeting materials and draft plan content, and answering questions regarding GLWMO resources). The meetings will ensure that the plan development process moves forward efficiently and is effectively connected with GLWMO interests. Where these meetings fall within the overall plan development process is highlighted on the project timeline. Deliverables: Written project updates and meeting summaries (4) Task 1.3 Implementation Planning Meeting w/ GLWMO Board Member Communities Description: The EOR team the GLWMO Planning Process Representative(s) will meet with representatives from the two municipalities represented in the GLWMO to discuss CIPs, financing, and coordination of implementation efforts. This discussion will also include identifying opportunities to address water quality quantity improvements for retrofits (e.g. existing stormwater mgmt. facilities) and redevelopment projects, as well as discussion of potential problem areas and /or infrastructure needs. Funding and financing options will also be discussed in order to develop a common vision for the funding and implementation of watershed mgmt. priorities, including CIPs that are considered to be the most effective in meeting the organizations goals and objectives in a Emmons Olivier Resources, Inc. water l ecology 1 community 4
