THIRD GENERATION WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN UPDATE
City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item and reviewed the Council's past consideration
of the Third Generation Watershed Management Plan Update.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug explained the purpose of this item is to
continue review of the Plan Update and provide the City's official comments. He presented key
Plan changes to the volume standards, new infiltration requirements, and permit thresholds.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman asked if other cities are imposing the same regulations
so development costs will be increased across-the-board, not just in Brooklyn Center. Mr.
Lillehaug confirmed that was the case and would not result in an inequity for Brooklyn Center.
He described the recent Luther project that cost $25,000/acre to address storm water.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman asked if that was also required for the Regal Theater site
with an underground retention facility. Mr. Lillehaug stated that facility was built by the City to
accommodate redevelopment.
Mr. Lillehaug continued presentation of the cost and impact to implement the new rules.
Mr. Boganey stated all communities will have the same standard requirements but there will be
differences from community to community and location to location. He explained some
communities will be more creative in implementing Plan requirements and some sites will be
more compacted or larger, all of which will affect the cost.

Mr. Lillehaug presented other considerations and the multifaceted approach needed to address
water bodies. He asked the City Council if it supported following the Third Generation Plan
elements including Plan Priorities and Goals; Rules and Standards and Project Review
Revisions; 2013-2022 Monitoring Program and Education/Outreach Program; and, the
Implementation Plan and Capital Improvement Program. He noted that when the City updates
its Water Management Plan, it will also include capital improvements. At that time, he will ask
the Watershed Organization to update its CIP to include those projects.
The City Council/EDA discussed the Plan Update and indicated support, as it would improve the
environment for all. In addition, support was expressed for the educational/outreach component
and it was suggested that educational funding be focused towards children.
Mr. Lillehaug answered the City Council's/EDA's questions regarding monitoring by volunteers
that focused on known impairments. He stated he is confident that monitoring is headed in the
right direction.
The City Council/EDA indicated it is glad that Brooklyn Center is not at a disadvantage with
other communities by implementing the Plan Update. However, concern was raised related to
the City's implementation expense. Staff was asked to consider how those costs will be covered.
The unanimous consensus of the City Council/EDA was to support the Third Generation Plan.
Mr. Boganey stated staff will submit a letter of the City's position and copy the City
Council/HRA.
