Re: Joint Meeting with Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District
Informational Only:
As we have done in previous years with the Carnelian Marine St. Croix Watershed District, we are
holding a joint meeting with the Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District (CLFLWD) Board.
The purposed of the meeting is to share information about projects occurring in the watershed’s areas
in Scandia. Mike Kinney, the CLFLWD Administrator, as provided a list of projects for discussion
on the agenda. The City’s Local Water Management Plan requires a Memorandum of Understanding
with each watershed district regarding the city and districts’ roles and responsibilities. A sample
MOU is included in your packet. This agreement mirrors the agreement the City approved with Car
Mar in 2013. Lastly, the Bone Lake Association members have been invited to discuss any issues of
concern related to the city and district.
No action is needed at this meeting. Agreements can be formally approved at future meetings once
each entity has had the time to review and discuss.
