Meeting called to order by chair Art Jensen.
Berenschot made motion to adopt agenda. Bethke seconded. Carried.
LAKES PROTECTION GRANT - RESOLUTION
Heise presented a corrected version of the resolution that would authorize the LWCD to sponsor a Lake
Planning Grant. The purpose of the grant is to sponsor a one -day nutrient and sediment conference in
the protection of Lake St. Croix. Attendance is multi- agency and multi - disciplined. No county funds
needed. Motion by Berenschot, seconded by Bethke, to approve the resolution. Unanimous.
2003 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL
PLANNING DEPARTMENT - Fodroczi presented a Recycling budget in the amount of $253,766 and
a Hazardous Waste budget in the amount of $37,926. He said the Recycling budget is funded from
grant funds and user fees. The Efficiency Grant revenue of $21,000 is the minimum amount available,
and the actual amount will likely be greater. All proceeds from this grant would be passed through in
municipal grants. The Hazardous Waste budget is funded with levy money, although we have
submitted a grant application for $15,000 to be decided soon. Berenschot made motion to approve,
Jensen seconded, carried.
LAND & WATER CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT - Heise presented Land and Water
Conservation department budget. Heise discussed decisions that were incorporated into the 2003
budget. Handed out the budget expenditure summary, balance forward spread sheet for 2002 and 2003,
and another comparison worksheet. Discussion on budget. Heise eliminated the expenditures and
revenues from the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, because the County does not have to
incur costs before we are reimbursed by the state. In this particular program the DATCP cuts the check
to the landowner. Also, a recent meeting Heise had with NRCS, the Glen Hills pipe separation project
is now a NRCS sponsored project rather than a locally sponsored project. NRCS will be fully
responsible for all contracting and allocating of dollars for this project. No expenditures or revenues
will be funneled through the County budgeting system. The 2003 budget as presented is $1,184,103.00
which
a
is actually down 11.33% from 2002. However, there is a tax levy increase for 2003 of $38,358.00 as
compared to the 2002 budget. Much of this difference is reflective of the department's balance
forwards.
Discussion.
Berenschot made motion to approve the 2003 budget as presented, seconded by Bethke, carried.
Chair Jensen adjourned meeting at 11:50 a.m.
