Peterson, Mayor Patricia Muscovitz, City Clerk/Council Secretary CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 8/02/2010 AGENDA SECTION: WORK SESSION ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: SIX CITIES WATERSHED MANAGEMENT BY: K. Hansen BY: ORGANIZATION: Status of Revised Joint Powers DATE: 7/28/10 DATE: Agreement (JPA) Background: The Six Cities Watershed Management Organization (SCWMO) was formed on December 30, 1983 through a Joint Powers Agreement under the authority conferred to the member parties in 1982 through the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act. The cities are comprised of Blaine, Columbia Heights. Coon Rapids, Fridley, Hilltop and Spring Lake Park. Approximately 90 percent of the land area of Columbia Heights is in the Six Cities WMO. See attached location map. The WMO Plan was last updated and approved by all member cities in 1998. As required by Minnesota Statutes, the WMO must update its plan at least every ten years, and make any necessary changes to the JPA. Analysis /Conclusions: The WMO completed an update (3` generation) to the Six Cities Water Management Plan at the end of 2009 that is currently going through an agency review process (such as BSWR, Met Council and Anoka County). An updated plan requires that the Joint Powers Agreement also be amended. The Plan provides that the Six Cities WMO has historically left planning. and capital improvements up to the individual member cities. The WMO instead has focused on water quality initiatives, promoting educational resources and opportunities, and storm water boundary issues involving more than one member city. The Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) has been contacting WMO organizations to review 2007 legislative changes with the WMO Boards. These changes are focused on monitoring the performance and activities of local water management entities and establishing Plan standards. BWSR has clearly indicated that the WMO will need to have significant modifications to the plan based on 2007 legislation and their interpretation of the Rules (Statute 103B and MN Rules 8410). WMO Board members and consulting staff have been meeting with and are responding to BWSR directives for the 3` Generation Plan. Recent Significant ISSUE: The City of Blaine has recently informed the SCWMO that it is their intent to petition to withdraw from the SCWMO and will not be signing a new JPA, without a provision that allows member Cities to withdraw from the W MO. This presents a significant wrinkle in the moving forward under the original premises of the WMO. The reasoning Blaine has indicated is financial. One of the components of the new plan is incorporating a 10 -year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) into the plan. Significant improvements were identified involving Blaine. Blaine's position is to petition Coon Creek Watershed District to incorporate all of the Blaine area into the watershed district. This is contrary to the original formation of the WMO by keeping costs low and surface water improvements at the local level for responsibility. The cities of Coon Rapids and Fridley looked at a cost comparison of adjacent watershed districts to the new SCWMO plan requirements and found that the WMO was generally 2.5 to 3.5 times lower than what the watershed district would tax at for average priced homes in their communities (excluding capital improvements). This presents a dilemma for the WMO for continued operations. While BSWR has indicated the SCWMO could reform as the five cities WMO — losing Blaine will impact costs to the remaining cities. Blaine represents 15.75% of the annual SCWMO budget. Additionally, it is unknown at this time if Blaine's request would follow municipal boundaries or watershed (drainage area) boundaries — involving the City of Coon Rapids. It was suggested at the last board meeting to organize a joint meeting with all member cities along with elected officials to discuss the continuation of the WMO further. CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 8/02/2010 AGENDA SECTION: WORK SESSION ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: SIX CITIES WATERSHED MANAGEMENT BY: K. Hansen BY: ORGANIZATION: Status of Revised Joint Powers DATE: 7/28/10 DATE: Agreement (JPA) OPTIONS: Assuming that Blaine follows through with their withdrawal petition, potential options would include: 1. Refot in the WMO with the remaining five cities: Costs would be a major factor for consideration for the remaining cities first to complete the JPA and 3` Generation Plan, and second to operate as a smaller WMO with increased surface water management requirements under the revised plan. 2. Abandon the WMO and incorporate the land area into adjacent watershed districts: In the SCWMO area in Columbia Heights, our land area would be best suited for incorporation into the Mississippi WMO, along with SCWMO land area in Fridley. The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization boundaries include the Mississippi River as it runs through Minneapolis, as well as the land that drains to the river. The MWMO contains portions of the cities of Lauderdale, Minneapolis, St. Anthony, St. Paul, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. The WMO operates under a JPA, similar to the SCWMO, but is the only WMO in the State that has taxing authority, similar to a Watershed District (WD). RECOMMENDED MOTION: Informational only at this time — considerations for moving forward as a WMO.

He stated that he supported keeping the local chamber of commerce. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, nay; Williams, nay; Diehm, nay; Nawrocki, aye; Peterson, nay. 4 nays - 1 aye. Motion to amend failed. 4 f ( Motion by Diehm, second by Williams, to reduce the budget by the amount allocated for reimbursement of meals, gas mileage, or items Council members choose to submit for any of the activities they choose to attend. Diehm stated that if we are tightening our belts, the Council should cut expenses first. Nawrocki stated that this is pointed at him as he attends the LMC meetings and is the designated representative for other organizations. He stated that he does put in for mileage when he travels outside of the city. He questioned if this suggests we should not participate in the LMC any more, and if so we should drop our membership. Diehm stated absolutely not. She indicated that she participated on the League Policy Committee and listed the other committees she has served on, and has not submitted for any reimbursement of mileage or meals. She suggested that we maintain our membership, but we are tightening our belts. We choose to serve and that is part of our duty to the community and we should not be reimbursed from the taxpayers. Nawrocki questioned and disagreed on the meetings she attended. Nawrocki stated that he was active on the Revenues Policy committee. Diehm called for the question. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Diehm, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. 4 ayes — 1 nay. Motion to amend carried.
