Hanson <br />www. ci.little- Canada. mn. us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: June 22, 2007 <br />RE: Amendment to Real Estate Swap Agreement with McDonald's <br />Attached is correspondence just received from McDonald's regarding the Swap Agreement <br />we have with them for the Viking Drive realignment project. Their corporate counsel became <br />concerned about the possibility of environmental issues associated with the sediment trap in <br />the car wash of the Oasis property. This item was identified in our abatement report prepared <br />by Legend Environmental Services, Inc. In that report, it was advised that we have this pit <br />pumped out and the materials disposed of in a manner required by environmental regulations. <br />We have made arrangements to do that as part of our abatement process and I infourled <br />McDonald's of that. Their counsel then wanted to the attached addendum to our agreement. <br />I will conduct additional research with our environmental consultant prior to Wednesday's <br />meeting to determine if this is a significant risk. If possible, we will try to get the pit pumped <br />so we know exactly what the risk is. I am assuming that if the pit is entact (self contained) <br />then the exposure will be negligible with disposal of the pit contents being the major issue. <br />That is a responsibility we have already assumed given our acquisition of the site and our <br />abatement efforts. <br />
