He also stressed..the <br />absolute necessity that County 13 remain in operation <br />and not be closed because of a landfill site. Mottaz urged <br />working with area legislators to promote compensation from the State <br />for communities that have to receive metropolitan wastes, not gen- <br />erated by the recipient community. <br />The Council instructed the Engineer and the Administrator to <br />prepare a response to the Met Council addressing the. reasons <br />why Lake Elmo is unsuitable for any type of disposal site.

The <br />City would then be liable for $8,000 if Project 1006 is not <br />ordered. <br />Mottaz moved, seconded by Fraser, to authorize an increase of <br />$2,000 in the City commitment to the 1006 Preliminary Fund. <br />Motion carried 4-0. <br />CONSERVENCY REGULATION: Mottaz moved, seconded by Eder, to adopt <br />Ordinance 7927, amending the Zoning Ordinance by adding Section <br />305 - Restrictive Soil's Overlay District and Section 306 - <br />Wetland Protection and Preservation Overlay District. <br />Discussion: Eder encouraged the Zoning Administrator to include <br />field work as a part of enforcing the regulation; <br />Motion carried 4-0. <br />OFFICE PLANS: <br />A.
