i. Wellhead Protection Plan Phase 2 Public Hearing – John Karwacki said it’s nice to be back with the city after so long. Karwacki explained this is a public hearing for both part one and part two. He said the purpose is to define where the city gets their water and how to protect from pollution. Phase one was completed in November of 2010 and the Department of Health did most of the work for the city. Karwacki said in phase two a database is developed to list potential sources of water contamination and determine management strategies. He said the plan has been through its 60 day review process and the Met Council has also reviewed and has no comments. Reinhardt wondered if there is action that the council needs to take. Williamson said the public hearing is an invitation to the community to bring forward questions and observations. Karwacki said this is correct. He believes once the Department of Health reviews this the council then acts. Williamson suggests relative documents be submitted to the administrator and they can be reviewed and discussed at a work session. Reinhardt officially opens the public hearing and closes the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. No one comments and no submissions were received.
