Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br />February 22, 1995 <br />page 2 <br />Waier qualitv monitoring may bn a good idea, but if the MCWD agrees to conduct the <br />monitoring the city does not need that agreement m wntmg. <br />Section 5 0 The citv is very uncomfonable with the creation of. or membership on a <br />large advTsorv committee made up of major regulatory agencies. These <br />de«lop a life of their own that is in conflict with the purpose and goals of the project and the <br />interests of the individual committee members. <br />Section 6. Orono is not opposed to the MCWD Board appointing the Project Manager. <br />This item does not need to be a pan of the agreement. <br />Section 7. If the aereement is simplified as the city proposes, the need for a dispute <br />resolution procedure mav be eliminated. Also, since the city is opposed to the project <br />committee, it would also be opposed to that comminec havmg a role m a dispute resolution <br />process. <br />An additional revision to the agreement is to add lan^ge to Section 3.L10 to mclude <br />snecific mention of the conditional use permit required from the City of Orono for Ae <br />cLimentation Dond Also in Ae same section, it is unclear what Ae lang-aage m Ae last phras <br />mtX m "eeds to be clarified to indicate dtat apy <br />Sctsion to use S city's powers of eminent domain wUl be made at the sole dtscreurn of the <br />city. <br />Given the generai support of the city for a project to improve the water ^ <br />I ike and the city’s abUitv to review the project through its review process for a conditionai use <br />^It me ciw WieL 'the cooperative agreement can be substantially simplified^ deu.Ied <br />above. If you'have any questions regarding Aese suggested revisions please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ronald J: Moorse <br />City Administrator <br />cc:Prasanta K. Reddy, Popham Haik
