MEMO city of eagan TO: HONORABLE MAYOR PAT AWADA COLiNCILMEMBER PAUL BAKKEN COUNCILMEMBER PEGGY CARLSON COUNCILMEMBER CYNDEE FIELDS COUNCILMEMBER MEG TILLEY FROM: ERIC MACBETH, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2001 SUBJECT: WATER QUALITY DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR FEBRUARY 6, 2001 WORKSHOP The following three discussion items are on the workshop agenda: I. Black Dog Watershed Management Organization (WMO~Review of the WMO and its Draft Watershed Management Plan The City of Eagan is an incidental member of this organization by virtue of a small land area included in the Black Dog Watershed. The WMO has requested the City to comment on its draft watershed plan. This presents the Council an opportunity to become familiar with the WMO-City relationship in general and the Black Dog WMO in particular. Denny Palmer of Barr Engineering will be making a short presentation. Mary Hamann-Roland, Apple Valley/Eagan commissioner is also expected to be present. II. Street Sweeping Study for Water Quality Ciry staff from the water resources and streets and equipment maintenance divisions is conducting a study of the effectiveness of street sweepers to collect pollutants and improve water quality. Staff strongly recommends the project to continue, although originally proposed as a cost-share grant project. The City capital equipment budget for 2002 has the acquisition of an additional sweeper specifically for water quality sweeping. This study will significantly assist both divisions to determine which type of water quality sweeper to add to the fleet. HI. Water Quality Ordinances Study Staff from the water resources division is conducting a comparative analysis of existing City policies and programs with ordinances of other Twin City communities and from other sources to identify gaps, strengths, and weaknesses. This study is for water-resources related ordinances in sediment and erosion control, wetland protection, and buffer setbacks. Staff strongly recommends the project to continue, although originally proposed as a cost-share grant project. Background on the policies and preliminary results ofone-month's work will be the focus of the staff presentation (see attachments).
