MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 27, 2008 Blesener asked if the Council decided to not renew the dumping permit, if the City will need a plan to close the On-Site dump station. The Superintendent reported that that would be the next step. The Administrator indicated that On-Site installed the dump station and should be responsible for the cost of its removal. If On-Site does not seal off the dump station, the City could proceed under a nuisance abatement, seal it off, and assess the cost to On-Site. Montour pointed out that the Met Council's Fridley site is 12 miles from the On-Site location. This will result in more time and fuel costs, however, On-Site has enjoyed a benefit that no other similar business has had in that it had a dump station on their own property. The Superintendent reported that the 12-mile distance is between the Fridley site and On-Site's shop. He suggested that in developing efficient routes, On-Site would be able to reduce the amount of travel time. The Council discussed the revenues the City receives from the On-Site dumpsite based on estimated flows. They also discussed the fact that On- Site has been along-term business in the City. The Administrator noted that the City allowed the dumpsite initially in an attempt to work with a local business, however, suggested the risk was too high to continue. Montour stated that On-Site was a valuable business to have in the City, and suggested that non-renewal of the permit will not mean the City will lose this business. Keis asked if there were outdoor storage issues with this property. The City Administrator reported that there were. On-Site does not have Conditional Use Permits allowing outdoor storage on their principle site nor on their adjoining property. City staff, however, did not want to tie the two issues together. Blesener noted that there is no one present representing On-Site Sanitation even though they were notified of the public hearing to consider license renewal. The Administrator reported that On-Site received a copy of the City's report. Upon motion by Keis, seconded by Allan, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUITON 2008-2-SO -DECLARING THE NON-RENEWAL OF THE DISPOSAL SITE USE PERMIT WHICHALLOWS ON-SITE SANITATION TO DUMP SEWAGE FROM ITS PORTABLE TOILET BUSINESS INTO A SEWER DUMPING STATIONAT ITS WOODLYNAVENUE LOCATION, WITH THE CURRENT PERMIT
