Wayzala Bi\d.. Wa>zata <br />I. Minutes of 9/19 and agenda for H»/3/91 approved. <br />lAttendence list for 10/3 enclosed) <br />II. MCWD 'SOS’ Plan & responsibilities of cities. <br />Ron Quanbeck briefly described that the 509 statute (103B. <br />235. Subd. 2) contains the requirements for contents of city <br />plans. He also mentioned that the Management Strategy" <br />section of the MCWD Plan also has some guidance for city <br />officials in preparing their plans. Several of the <br />requirements can be met by using the same information and <br />descriptions in similar sections of the MCWD Plan. <br />Following Ron’s comments, several members asked questions. <br />One wondered how some of the cities can meet various <br />requirements of the MCWD Plan if they have no built' <br />stormsewer system. Ron said they need to just describe the <br />existing situation, even if it involves only culverts, low <br />pockets, wetlands, and other natural drainage features. <br />Another member asked how the Shore land and '509 ' programs <br />are tied together. Ed Pick responded by explaining that if <br />cities cannot tieet the 25% impervious limit per lot of the <br />Shoreland Regs, and want flexibility" on the issue, then <br />probably the best approach would be a firm committment to <br />develop and implement a stormwater management plan which is <br />acceptable to the MCWD. <br />The Chairman asked Ron if the MCWD has planning assistance <br />available to the cities for preparation of stormwater plans. <br />Ron responded that they do not currently have such <br />assistance available in their budget. Ed Pick again <br />mentioned the Shoreland grant progra- will have <br />"administrative" grants available after cities adopt <br />shoreland controls and that he feels some of this money <br />might be used for this purpose. Bruce Sandstrom also <br />explained that the BWSR has a grant program, but it will <br />probably not work well for cities in Hennepin County because <br />it was designed for "outstale" situations, not the Metro <br />area. To meet requirements of the program. Hennepin County <br />would have to raise $500,000 to be clegible for matching <br />BWSR money. Bruce went on to explain that BWSR had recently <br />sent its comnients on the MCWD Plan to the District, and that <br />these include a suggestion that the Plan include more <br />guidance for cities as to what their plans should cov’er. Ho <br />said the MCWD might consider developing a model" plan for <br />the cities to use. . ^ <br />One TRC member mentioned that his city is considering <br />setting up a stormwater management "utility to charge <br />landowners a small fee on a regular basis which would then <br />go into a dedicated fund to finance future stormwater <br />management activities.
