It has been reviewed <br /> by the Finance Department and the Water Management Department, and appears to be in good <br /> standing. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: <br /> None. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Finance Department. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> Keith D. Alexander, Director of Water Management, telephone 424-2863 <br /> e-mail kalexander@decaturil.gov <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> These services are an annual expenditure of the Lake Services operating budget. <br /> cc: Dennis Bork, MCSWCD Board Chair <br /> Shannon Allen, MCSWCD Watershed Specialist <br /> Randy Kampfe, ADM <br /> Ron Neufeld, Finance Director <br /> Randy Miller, Water Services Manager <br /> Rob Shirley, Water Production Manager <br />
