Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant City Administrator � August 12, 2009 Page 8 In addition, the Update needs to contain or be accompanied by a 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) covering at least the following areas: parks & open space, sewers, transportation, water supply. The cover letter notes that a 7-year CIP is being developed and is expected to be adopted later this year. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (Judy Sventek, 651-602-11�6) The Update is incomplete for Local Surface Water Management Plan. Orono lies within the Minnehaha Creek watershed. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District's watershed management plan was approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources in 2007. Orono was required to update its Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) by July of 2009. The Update states that the City will be submitting its LSWMP for review within a month or two.

WATER SUPPLY (Sara Smith, 651-602-1035) The Update is incomplete, as the City did not include water use projections in its water supply plan. Communities are required to project annual maximum and average day water use for the next ten years as well as projecting water use for 2020 and 2030 in their water supply plans. OTHER ISSUES: WASTEWATER SERVICES (Roger Janzig, 651-602-1119) The Update is complete for review. The City is proposing to develop its urban area at a net density less than 3 units per acre.
