For a freshman to have accomplished this is noteworthy in itself. For a minority freshman to have done this over the opposition of the majority leadership is truly nothing less than amazing. The legislator I am referring to is Linda Runbeck, who won a special election in District 52A in February. I thought you should know that her performance in her first 7 weeks in office indicates that you have an impressive and effective voice for Anoka County interests in your delegation. When you consider Linda's credentials for this office, it is perhaps not surprising that she is making such a strong impression so early. She has a IS-year career in advertising management, she owns her own business and she served previously on the Circle Pines City Council. Her business involvement has given her a feel for the needs of Anoka County in the area of economic development; and as House Speaker Bob Vanasek said in a recent St. Paul newspaper article, previous service in local government provides a new legislator with an understanding of the "process" that other freshmen don't have. I have enjoyed working with L~nda since her election. I have bee~ very impressed, and I know that as you work wIth her on behalf of Anoka County m the Mmnesota House, you will be equally impressed. We don't often see freshmen with her grasp of issues and the process at this early stage. I just thought you should know. o Sincerely, ~ Bill Schreib Minority Leader ..... NOT PRINTED AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE ~ COON CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT BOARD OF MANAGERS' MEETING JANUARY 23, 1989 'i , o The Board of Managers of the Coon Creek Watershed Dlstrict held thelr regular meeting on January 23, 1989 at the Bunker Hills Act1vities Center.

Coon Creek Watershed Dlstrlct - January 23, 1989 Dale Claridge gave an update on the Olympic Glen/Central Avenue Acres pond. An analysis of the area upstream from Highway 65, using very restricted outlets, reQUlreS an additional 222 acre feet of storage. A pond at Central Avenue Acres could provide 192 acre feet of storage. The Olympic Glen II site, the pond furthest to the east, could provide the, remaining 30 acre feet of storage. For this plan to work, ponds will be needed at the following sites: North Oaks West, 580W, Central Avenue Acres and Olympic Glen East. It will also be necessary to lower Jefferson Ave. and 117th Ave. The City of Blaine has not determlned whether the two roads can be lowered. o The Board would like Ed Matthiesen to address the amount of storage available at the Olympic Glen west and east sites. Dale Claridge reviewed Ed Matthiesen's memo regarding the Comprehensive Management Plan for the City of Andover and how it corresponds with Coon Creek's 509 plan. The Board asked for clarification of the statement "City mayor may not be interested in assuming more permit work." Ed Matthiesen met with John Stine, DNR, and Bryon Wes1and, Woodland Development, to determine the OHW (ordinary high water) at the proposed pond site at the headwaters of Ditch 58-7. It is estimated the outlet structure will be completed this summer. ~ Dale Claridge reported Ed Matthiesen would be meeting with the DNR and the Soil and Water Conservation District on January 26, 1989 to discuss monitoring of hydrologic information. It is proposed that the DNR install lake gauges with the SWCD reading them. The District Administrator explained the new practice management/time management system being used by A.M. Sannerud'& Assoc. The practice management system has been adapted to fit the needs of Coon Creek and will record time spent and dollars charged to each billing code under each fund. The Board will be provided with invoices, a worksheet listing hours spent per billing code per fund and a summary list by billing code for each billing period. The Board discussed whether the manager's reimbursement for the annual meeting should be a per diem for two days or for three days. Paul Williams moved the managers be reimbursed for Thursday as well as Friday and Saturday, seconded by Me1 Schulte. Motion carried with a vote of four yeas and no nays. The District Administrator was asked to contact other metro watershed districts for information on a reimbursement policy. The Board will develop a reimbursement policy to be used in the future. The Board reviewed the bills to be paid. Ken Slyzuk moved the bills for payment 'be approved as presented with the addition of a bill from E.A. Hickok & Assoc. ($4,433.41).

The meeting began at 7:00 p.m. Present: Mel Schulte, Ken Slyzuk, Gary Beck, Paul Williams Willis Peterson Mel Sinn and Jim Birkholz of the state board staff Absent: Also Present: The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the district's deficit problems and how they might be dealt with. Mr. Ogaard expressed concern that this problem should be handled as quickly and efficiently as possible because such problems are not unique and could have implications for watershed districts allover the state and not just Coon Creek. ~ Oiscussion centered around how a deficit had occurred. It was felt that this happened principally because of a lawsuit by the city of Andover which nullified much administrative work which had been done toward the cleaning of ditch 57, including the entire redetermination of benefits and all associated administrative work. Secondary to this it was the consensus that the high cost of contracted administrative work contributed to the buildup of a deficit in this ditch account. Thirdly, the discussion was critical of the district because the board was not aware of the magnitude of the deficit was building. In order to deal with this problem. Mr. Ogaard requested that the Coon Creek Board bring the district as close as possible to a halt until such time as the causes of the problem can be corrected. This would primarily stop all ditch cleaning and pond construction projects. The Coon Creek Board asked that while the district is in this powered-down mode of operation if Mr. Ogaard's staff would examine Coon Creek's administrative procedures and make recommendations as to how to lower costs and prevent a reoccurrence of the deficit spending. Mr. Ogaard agreed to have his staff do this and a date of March 2nd was set to meet with the district administrator for this purpose. Mr. Ogaard and his staff had three other suggestions to help the Coon Creek District. First, t~at a simplified list of expenditures be prepared by the administrator for presentation at each monthly meeting of the Coon Creek Watershed District so that the board will be able to see problems in the making. Second, that the Coon Creek District pursue special legislation to allow it to either scrap the projects that deficit money was spent on and forgive the amount borrowed from the general fund or, as an alternative, to continue the projects and recover the entire project cost under Mn Chapter 473. With this is mind it was also suggested that the Coon Creek Board might ask Anoka County if it would be willing to forgive the portion of this money it had advanced toward these projects. o t"<::l~t:~. \..uun \..Jt:t::f\. nQ,l".'='(t)ll't:IU UIl:)....II\.l\.i - ;,JQIIUQIY ";'..1, I~U;;J , Finally, that the district might want to consider the merits of opening its own office and hiring a full time administrator as opposed to using contracted services, as is the case currently. o The Board of Managers of the Coon Creek Watershed District, without formal vote, agreed to implement the suggestions of Mr. Ogaard and his staff.
