9.a) Watershed District LTRCarnelian -Marine -St. Croix Watershed District Scandia Plaza 11 • 21150 Ozark Avenue • P.O. Box M • Scandia, MN 55073 • Tel 651433.2150 October 15, 2014 Scandia City Council attn.: Kristina Handt 14727 209th St. Scandia, MN. 55073 Dear City Council members: RECEIVED OCT 16 2014 The Watershed Board discussed the upcoming special committee meetings on Log House Landing at our meeting Wednesday (10/08/14) as well as the process after the special committee brings its recommendations to the Council. The assumption is the Council will act on all or parts of the recommendations and pass them to the City Engineer with instructions to proceed to the next phase of design which would include revised plans and cost estimates. The CMSCWD Board would like the opportunity to review the design criteria and engineering plans and have a chance to submit formal comments. We will review this information in respect to design as well as applicability to Watershed rules and law prior to the preparation of a construction or bidding plan set. A revised plan and estimate would also allow the District to establish its financial participation in the project subject to any grant workplan requirements. The Board will need the approval of a District Plan amendment for the project. Even though CMSCWD will have Board members sitting on the Advisory Committee, like the City Council it will be necessary for the Board as a whole to formally act to e-mail IShaver(a CMSCWD org website www.CMSCWD.org approve participation in the project. It will be essential to have as much detail as possible for the Managers to review so that they can make a fully informed decision. I look forward to receiving your comments on the above and if you should have any questions, do not hesitate to call. Thank you for your concern in protecting and improving the water resources of the District.
