WATERSHED MAJOR PLAN AMENDMENT
Mr. Boganey stated the Council is being asked to evaluate and provide comments pertaining to a
proposed major plan amendment to the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed
Management Commission's Second Generation Watershed Management Plan.
Mr. Lillehaug explained that the purpose of the major plan amendment is to revise the Capital
Improvement Program to add an additional potential Shingle Creek Restoration Project in
Brooklyn Park in response to a visioning project for Shingle Creek between Regent and Noble
Avenues being completed by Hennepin Community Works and the Cities of Brooklyn Park and
Brooklyn Center. It would be beneficial to have the plan amendment completed for grant
opportunities that may arise. With the proposed revision, the capital levy in 2010 is estimated to
be $508,000, slightly exceeding the $500,000 maximum annual levy guideline. Mr. Lillehaug
reviewed the proposed major plan amendment to the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi
Watershed Management Commission's Second Generation Watershed Management Plan and
answered questions of the City Council.
Mr. Lillehaug requested Council consideration of the following issues in order to provide staff
direction:
■ Does the City Council support the major plan amendment?
■ Does the City Council support exceeding the maximum annual levy guideline for 2010?
There was discussion on the following in relation to the proposed major plan amendment:
■ The capital levy for 2010 exceeding the maximum annual levy guideline
03/09/09 -2-
■ Visioning process for the Shingle Creek Restoration Project
The majority consensus of the City Council was support of the Major Plan Amendment as
outlined in Appendix G of the Shingle Creek and West Mississippi Watershed Management
Commission's Second Generation Watershed Management Plan. While the City Council does
not necessarily favor exceeding the maximum annual levy guideline for 2010, the expectation is
that the Commission will be seeking grant funds to cover the additional costs associated with the
Major Plan Amendment.
2009 STRATEGIC PLAN AND BUDGET REVISION UPDATE
Mr. Boganey suggested rescheduling this item to the next City Council Work Session due to time
constraints.
The majority consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to reschedule the 2009 Strategic
Plan and Budget Revision Update to the first item on the March 23, 2009 City Council Work
Session.
