Mr. Petersen suggested when the Lake Owasso Homeowners have association meetings that the cost -share program could be included as an agenda item, and RCD staff could be invited to make a brief presentation that might lead to a multi property owner project. Chair Ferrington, as a member of the Lake Owasso Homeowner Association, advised that property owners were aware of the BMP program. He suggested there may be other groups that could benefit from the information if personal contact was made. Mr. Schwartz advised that approximately one hundred (100) requests for information were fielded annually by his city, with the majority coming from Shoreview residents, rather than Roseville residents. Member Eckman suggested the need for the City of Shoreview to promote the GLWMO on their website, similar to the attention given for the Rice Creek Watershed District. Chair Ferrington recommended that additional information be provided by the GLWMO Board to the City of Shoreview for inclusion in their media materials. Discussion included the potential for a two person ad hoc committee responsible for press releases and reviewing communication materials to be added to Item 17. Member Eckman moved, Member Westerberg seconded acceptance of the 2010 GLWMO draft Work Plan, with the addition of two (2) subcategories to Item 17 and development of an ad hoc committee charged to review the two subcategories, which are: (a) developing communication materials, and (b) planning for possible Snail Lake diagnostics study. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 Motion carried. Status of Annual Financial Audit Reports for 2007, 2008 and 2009 Chair Ferrington announced that Mr. Schwartz had advised that the BWSR accepted the formatting and information included in the GLWMO's annual financial audit information by the City of Roseville for the annual reports of the 2007 and 2008 calendar years. Mr. Schwartz advised that, after discussions and review of the audit materials with the BWSR, the city had misunderstood new formats for how the reports were to be organized. Mr. Schwartz advised that he had forwarded to Chair Ferrington the 2009 information in the new approved format to be included in that annual report as well. Chair Ferrington anticipated approval of the 2009 annual report by the BWSR in the near future, allowing them to release the funds for the Aladdin Street CIP grant, since BWSR was seeking additional financial rather than narrative information before releasing funds.
