09:22:29	 From  Emily Heinz, CLFLWD : I have the eLINK work plan text open and can be working on these edits too
09:36:32	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : Reminder to use the criteria in the appendix of your approved Plan:)
09:39:44	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : Would the subcommittee make recommendations to the overall Steering Committee?
09:57:34	 From  Dan Fabian : Sorry my internet keeps cutting out.  I think I am back now.
09:58:28	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO : What's a fax machine?
10:01:33	 From  Maureen Hoffman : Matt M you may want to call in your audio keeps cutting in and out
10:08:10	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : Could add a link from your LSC 1W1P partners from website - https://www.lsc1w1p.org/our-partners
10:08:29	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : That way you don't have to list them all
10:09:40	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO   to   Angie Hong : I'd use caution with that, the PC was hesitant to create an entity and I know my board at least is concerned still with adding a layer of government.
10:09:51	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO   to   Angie Hong : Logo seems like we are
10:18:51	 From  Dan Fabian : Jamie, what about Becky?
10:19:56	 From  Emily Heinz, CLFLWD : If everyone mutes when not talking that should help the echo I think
10:20:34	 From  Craig Mell, Chisago SWCD Staff : Ferti
10:20:38	 From  Craig Mell, Chisago SWCD Staff : fertig
10:20:41	 From  Jerry Spetzman : Fertig
10:21:04	 From  Susanna Wilson Witkowski : Thanks Angie!
10:25:06	 From  Dan Fabian : For the Wetland Restoration you might want to invite Ben Meyer (BWSR Wetlands person for most of this area) to participate, but not be a official member.
10:25:18	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : It is a match for the whole grant
10:25:38	 From  Angie Hong : I need to step away for one sec
10:30:31	 From  Jamie Schurbon : BWSR staff, please let us know which BWSR person would be best for the wetland committee?  Ben Meyer may be a top choice.  I've also found some of your engineers very helpful, especially from a construction standpoint.  Tom Wenzel?  Josh Swanson?
10:30:57	 From  Jamie Schurbon : Nevermind.
10:31:52	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO : I think it is important to see representation.
10:32:16	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO : List people's org. as well as name
10:32:31	 From  Paul Swanson : I got pulled away on something else for a moment. I missed the conversation about the Wetlands Restoration/Activity 6. I would be happy to serve on that sub-committee if there is a need for people.
10:37:48	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : Yes - look at your plan
10:39:26	 From  Craig Mell, Chisago SWCD Staff : I have to step away for a couple minutes
10:42:40	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : See pages 93-95 of your LSC CWMP related to an Annual Work Plan. Whomever drafts the outline should go there first.
10:45:01	 From  Emily Heinz, CLFLWD : https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b0dadc59772aeb1df30d0d8/t/5f9aea83cfd1f030c1d3bb17/1603988135744/Final+Lower+St+Croix+Comp+Plan+OCT+2020.pdf#page=93
10:46:35	 From  Emily Heinz, CLFLWD : I thought Angie's document indicated the hiring subcommittee would do a cost-benefit analysis of hiring vs contracting?
10:46:40	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO : Pros and Cons? Why contract?
10:47:07	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO : Contract where?
10:49:34	 From  Matt Downing, MSCWMO : I think there will be more direction and control if hired, it can be a struggle to align issues/goals if working with another entity vs. consultant.
10:49:53	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : My recollection is that the idea was cost savings and expertise but agree about overhead and not sure about capacity. Seemed to want to keep options open.
10:50:02	 From  Jerry Spetzman : I recommend hiring a local position rather than contract.
10:51:24	 From  Caleb Anderson : I agree, hiring sounds better
10:52:27	 From  Susanna Wilson Witkowski : Yes, with hiring the new employee will have a stonger connection to the partners, etc.
10:54:58	 From  Tiffany Determan : its all good
10:55:17	 From  Emily Heinz, CLFLWD : We've made a lot of changes to the eLINK WBIF Work Plan since the Policy Committee last reviewed it. Should we include the latest work plan in the packet at least as an FYI so they know the changes we've made?
10:56:09	 From  Jay Riggs : Agreed
10:56:47	 From  Craig Mell, Chisago SWCD Staff : I agree
10:57:58	 From  Barb Peichel, Local 301 : My suggestion for eLINK would be...a subcommittee of the Steering Committee will be formed and...
10:58:34	 From  Craig Mell, Chisago SWCD Staff : Thanks Emily
11:04:35	 From  Caleb Anderson : Great work Angie!
