Annual Activity and Financial Reports

All metro-area watershed management organizations are required to annually submit an activity report, financial report and financial audit within 120 days of the end of the organization’s fiscal year.

The MWMO’s Annual Activity and Financial Report meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Water Management Act (MS 103B.231) and Minnesota Rules 8410.0150. The intent of the report is to provide an annual snapshot or record of where the organization is in meeting its mission, goals and objectives, as well as what its goals and objectives are for next year. This record is important — not only to meet rule requirements, but also for future organization board and staff members to understand why past decisions were made and directions were taken.

Key components of the required reporting are:

Budgets and expenditure information
Annual workplan and evaluation of past workplan
Status of local water management plan adoption
Summary of monitoring data
Permit and enforcement activity
Status of wetland plans and banking

This report is organized by MWMO areas of expertise and activity. The workplan description is delivered at an area of activity or expertise level rather than at an individual staff level. Individual workplans are adjusted quarterly to reflect and meet the ever-changing work environment of the MWMO, while areas of activity and expertise needs are driven by annual budget processes of the watershed and its members.

This report may be updated periodically throughout the year. The most recent version will be available on the MWMO’s website at mwmo.org.
