JPA / CONSENT AGENDA: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: HERITAGE 1891 COMMUNITY 1991 W'J$% 2CZ!Jl 3 (f) BRUCE LONEY, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDED JOINT POWER AGREEMENT FOR CREDIT RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION AUGUST 5, 1991 The purpose of this Agenda item is to consider approving an amended Joint Power Agreement (JPA) for the Credit River Watershed Management Organization (CRWMO). This amended JPA would retain the seven (7) member Board rather than reducing it to a five (5) member Board as per the previously approved JPA. A Joint Power Agreement for establishin9 a Watershed Commission for the Credit R1ver Watershed was approved by a City council motion on June 24, 1985. From this Agreement, a Watershed Management organization was formed as required by the Metropolitan Water Management Act and Minnesota Statute 473.878. The CRWMO has met since 1986 to form a surface water management plan. This plan has been completed and has been approved by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. The Metropolitan Surface Water Act applied to the seven county metro area which includes Scott County. In the initial Joint Power Agreement, the membership of the Board consisted of one representative from each of the seven local unit of governments within the CRWMO's boundary. These members and their appointed commissioners were responsible for the preparation and adoption of the initial watershed plan which was recently approved. After adoption of the watershed plan, the Board of Commissioners was to be reduced to five (5) members as per the initial JPA. The Credit River WMO Board has met and believes that a seven member board would provide better representation for the WMO. Enclosed with the Council Agenda packet is the First Amendment to the Joint Power Agreement establishing the CRWMO which amends the membership within the WHO. 4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 Ph. (612) 447.4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 DISCUSSION: RECOMMENDATION: ALTERNATIVES: BUDGET IMPACT: ACTION REQUIRED: The amendment would change the Board membership from five to seven. The seven member Board will consist of two commissioners appointed by Credit River Township, two commissioners appointed by the city of Savage, one commissioner appointed by the Cit~ of Lakeville, and two commissioners app01nted jointly by the City of Burnsville, the city of Prior Lake, New Market Township and Spring Lake Township. The initial JPA had two commissioners each appointed by the Credit River Township and the City of Savage and one commissioner appointed by the remalning five local units of government. The City of Prior Lake has 700 acres of area within the CRWMO which is least amount of area among the seven members. The 700 acres is 2.4% of the total 29,941 acres within the WMO. A map is enclosed which shows the acreage of the City within the CRWMO. With this amendment, the cities of Burnsville and Prior Lake, New Market Township and Spring Lake Township need to appoint two permanent commissioners and one alternate commissioner to represent these local units of government. The City of Prior Lake's commissioner for the CRWMO for the preparation and adoption of the watershed plan has been the writer of this report. It is being suggested that the current commissioners from the above local units of government will convene at a future date and make recommendations for the two permanent commissioners and the one alternate commissioner to be appointed. These selections will be presented to Council at a future meeting. Recommendation is to approve Resolution No. 91-33 so that the proper City officials can sign the Amended Joint Power Agreement. The alternatives are as follows: 1. AJ?prove Resolution No. 91-33. 2. D1sapprove Resolution No. 91-33 for specific reasons. 3. Table this item for specific reasons. This item has no impact on the budget. Make a motion, as J?art of the Consent Agenda, to approve Resolut10n No. 91-33.
