Unfinished Business A) Snelling Midway O & M (Kelley)

Mr. Kelley shared an update on Allianz Field. The facility opened in 2019. The building site was formerly owned by Metro Transit and a private property owner. The site had complications including multiple landowners, long-term leaseholders, and soil contamination. Mr. Kelley provided a review of site plans showing the comprehensive stormwater approach, including tree trenches in Right of Way to treat streets, two filtration rain gardens for temporary parking lots, storm filter medica cartridge filtration system, sand filtration, underdrain soccer field underdrains, rate control tanks and pumps, and a twoacre-foot rainwater harvest and reuse tank. Mr. Kelley provided a review of issues in the 2020 system.

Mr. Kelley also provided a review of 2021 issues. In the spring of 2021, the system was experiencing pressure loss after water ran through the filters, and the self-cleaning filters were backflushing nearly constantly. The storage tanks were drained and inspected for excessive sediment accumulation. Only the wet well where the pumps are hosed required sediment removal. The system still needs city water to meet pressure and demand needs. President Collins and Manager Murphy inquired about sediment collecting on the roof. Mr. Kelley replied that construction is still taking place in the surrounding areas could contribute to dust gathering on the roof. Mr. Kelley also added that the recommended pretreatment filter was not what was constructed. Manager Texer inquired if the system is affected by the drought. Mr. Kelley replied that the system is functioning on reused water for a longer time period because of the lower flow rates from the tank. Manager Sullivan Janzen inquired about the costs for taking on the management. Mr. Kelley replied that CRWD has been reimbursed by the City of Saint Paul and that most of the costs were for cleaning. CRWD gets preapproval for cleaning. Mr. Kelley added that the system has been running smoothly for June and July. Manager Sullivan Janzen inquired about the costs of using city water versus the reuse water. Mr. Kelley replied the team pays for the water and added that a large volume of water being used to maintain the soccer fields. Information was provided as an update. The Board thanked Mr. Kelley for his presentation. No action was taken.

August 12, 2021 CRWD Board of Managers Lindsay Schwantes, Community Outreach Coordinator 2022 Partner Grant Program

Background Partner Grants support organizations who share in CRWD’s mission to protect, manage, and improve our water resources. Expenses eligible for reimbursement include staff time and materials. Projects funded in 2022 must be completed with a final report submitted by December 31, 2022. Grants are funded on a reimbursement basis and liability insurance is required for all grantees. Partner Grants are given to community organizations, cities, schools, art organizations, and environmental or faith groups for clean water education and action projects serving residents within CRWD’s boundaries. Grant awards range from $1,000-$20,000.

Issues Staff will distribute the 2022 Partner Grant solicitation to the attached list and any additional organizations suggested. The distribution list includes previous grant recipients and organizations that represent new audiences for CRWD. The draft 2022 budget for Partner Grants is $145,000.

Last year, staff updated the promotion and evaluation process by integrating CRWD’s diversity and inclusion goals, updating the application form that includes improved questions that address CRWD’s priority audiences as outlined in the 2021 Watershed Management Plan and measuring project impacts. We are currently updating our BMP database which will further streamline the application, contracting and reporting process for grantees and staff. Staff will continue to request information on how partners will incorporate COVID-19 safety recommendations at the time of project execution.

Staff will host a virtual information session for interested applicants to learn about eligibility and contracting requirements on October 8, 2021. Staff will also promote CRWD’s Watershed Steward Awards, Stewardship Grant Program and provide information on how to apply to the CAC in the promotion email.

The 2021 Communications and Community Committee Board appointments are Managers Murphy and Sullivan Janzen and this committee will assist in the Partner Grant review process. At the August 11, CAC meeting, members Nicole Soderholm and Andrew Montain volunteered to serve in the 2022 Partner Grant review process with David Arbeit serving as an alternate. The committee will review applications and meet in person to select grant recipients in November for Board approval in December.

Request Action Authorize staff to distribute CRWD’s 2022 Partner Grant Request for Proposals and proceed with the grant review and approval process according to the proposed timeline.

August 18, 2021 Board Meeting V. Action Items E) 2021-2022 Creative & Information Services Consultants RFQ (Bromelkamp) DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

August 18, 2021 CRWD Board of Managers Jessica Bromelkamp, Communications & Engagement Division Manager Approve 2021-2022 Solicitation of Qualifications for Creative & Information Services

Background The District adopted a policy for soliciting professional services in 2010 and solicits statements of qualifications (SOQs) on a biennial basis. The Communications & Engagement Division completed its first Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in 2017 for the 2017-2018 consultant pool in an attempt to better align with the RFQ process for professional services. Although, there is some overlap between firms responding to these RFQs, they are often unique to each process because of the expertise each requires.

Issues Staff have prepared the enclosed 2021-2022 Creative and Information Services Request for Qualifications.

These services include graphic design and infographics; content writing, copywriting and editing; videography; photography; community engagement; artist engagement; event planning, website development and maintenance; public relations; diversity, equity and inclusion training; translation, interpretation and voice over; communications training and consulting; strategic planning and evaluation; and workshops for water quality.

Interested firms are required to submit a SOQ that includes background information, key staff and their qualifications, relevant projects, and a fee schedule. In addition, each firm will identify service areas for which they are qualified. As with the Professional Services RFQ distributed earlier this spring, the District’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Plan is highlighted with a request for interested firms to discuss how their operations, expertise, hiring, and/or other efforts would help the District achieve its DEI goals.

District staff is distributing the RFQ to 79 firms based in Minnesota. Approximately 55 firms are WBE (women-owned) or MBE (minority-owned) and certified through MNUCP (Federal/State database).

Staff will review all SOQs and determine which firms are qualified for each service area. Firms qualified in each area will be placed in the 2021-2022 pool of creative and information services consultants. Staff will request project proposals from the pool of consultants within a respective service area as needed.

Requested Action Approve 2021-2022 Solicitation of Qualifications for Creative & Information Services. enc:

Our mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District.

August 19, 2021 RE: CRWD Request for Qualifications for 2021 – 2022 Creative & Information Services Dear Service Provider: Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD or the District) is a local, special-purpose unit of government that works to protect, manage, and improve the lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands of the District. The District covers 40 square miles and includes portions of the Cities of Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Maplewood, Roseville, and Saint Paul. All the water in the District eventually drains to the Mississippi River.

The District’s Watershed Management Plan guides its work and activities in a coordinated, thoughtful, and effective manner from 2021-2030. Since its creation in 1998, the District has completed more than 1,700 clean water projects resulting in 296 million gallons of street runoff being filtered each year. As part of its work, the District also regularly partners with schools, arts organizations, and environmental or faithbased groups to educate and promote clean water actions.

The District regularly engages outside consultants to provide creative and information services to enhance its communications and engagement work as defined in the 10-year plan. The Board of Managers is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from any firm interested in providing creative and information services to the District.

Provide a brief description of how your firm aligns with the goals in the District’s DEI Plan. This may be specific to the firm’s operations, expertise, hiring, or other efforts being made to achieve diversity, equity and inclusion in its work.

Those firms qualified in each area will be placed in a pool of creative and information service consultants for calendar years 2021-2022. From this pool, the District may request proposals for new projects. Please note that placement in the District’s creative and information services pool does not guarantee future work.

Our mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District.

August 18, 2021 VI. Unfinished Business A) MAWD Resolutions Update (Doneux)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

August 12, 2021 CRWD Board of Managers Mark Doneux, Administrator MAWD Resolutions Update

Background It is that time of year for MAWD members to submit policy recommendations through the MAWD resolutions process.

Issues I have considered three issues to discuss a possible MAWD Resolutions. Any resolution the District submits should be well supported statewide, not divisive and be of the most benefit to MAWD and watershed management. The topics I am putting forward for your consideration include: 1.

Clarifying Session law Section 6, (a) (2) “seven-county metropolitan groundwater or surface water management frameworks; and (3) other comprehensive watershed management plan planning areas that have a board-approved and local-government-adopted plan as authorized in Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.801” I believe this should be merged and amended to read: “seven-county metropolitan groundwater or watershed management plans that have a board-approved and local-government-adopted plan as authorized in Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.” Opposing Session Law Section 6, (q) “$12,000,000 the first year and $12,000,000 the second year are for payments to soil and water conservation districts for the purposes of Minnesota Statutes, sections 103C.321 and 103C.331. From this appropriation, each soil and water conservation district shall receive an increase in its base funding of $100,000 per year. Money remaining after the base increase is available for grants to soil and water conservation districts as determined by the board based on county allocations to soil and water conservation districts and the amount of private land and public waters. The board and other agencies may reduce the amount of grants to a county by an amount equal to any reduction in the county's allocation to a soil and water conservation district from the county's previous year allocation when the board determines that the reduction was disproportionate. The board may use up to two percent for the administration of payments.”

2.

3.

Require State Agencies to seek review and comment from affected local units of government on new or amended water management policies prior to adoption.

Staff will discuss and review these possible resolutions. Resolutions should be submitted by September 1st however they the latest they can be submitted is September 15th with prior notice.

RE:

2021 REQUEST FOR MAWD RESOLUTIONS

It is that time of year for MAWD members to submit their policy recommendations through our resolutions process. This is YOUR organization and policy statements start with YOU! Here are the next steps and timeline: July / August

Members write, discuss, and approve resolutions at their WD/WMO meetings. The more detail you can provide, the easier it will be for the committee to make a recommendation.

September 1

Administrators submit resolutions and background information documents to the MAWD office at emily@mnwatershed.org by September 1 if possible. If more time is needed, please contact us to let the resolutions committee know another resolution may be coming. The latest possible date to submit a resolution is 60 days before the annual meeting (October 4). We ask for your help to submit resolutions early to give us enough time to turn them back around for discussion by your boards in November.

September / October The Resolutions Committee will review the resolutions, gather more information or ask for further clarification when deemed necessary, work with the submitting watersheds to combine similar resolutions, throw out resolutions already active, discuss and make recommendations on their passage to the membership.

October 31

Resolutions (with committee feedback) will be emailed to each district by Oct. 31

November

Members should discuss the resolutions at their November meetings and decide who will be voting on their behalf at the annual meeting (2 voting members and 1 alternate are to be designated per watershed organization)

December 3

Delegates discuss and vote on resolutions at the annual resolutions hearing. Please be prepared to present and defend your resolution.

December / January

Legislative Committee will review existing and new resolutions and make a recommendation to the MAWD Board of Directors for the 2022 legislative platform

January 2022

MAWD Board of Directors will finalize the 2022 legislative platform

January 31, 2022

First day of the 2nd half of 92nd legislative biennium

NOTE: Resolutions passed by the membership will remain MAWD policy for five years upon which time they will sunset. If a member wishes to keep them on the books, they need to be resubmitted and passed again by the membership. Enclosed with this memorandum are the active resolutions and those that will sunset 12/31/21.
