INFORMATIONAL MATERIAL FOR MAY 1 MEETING APRIL 26, 1984 / 2, The time frame of the committee is constantly being / delayed. We are starting the committee at a time when recommendations were suppose to be coming from the committee" Now the committee will be meeting for two to three months; then it will take an additional two to three months for the governing body to act on a committee recommendation and than; if the recommendation is accepted by the governing body, it will take an additional few months to arrange financing, draft plans, develop a construction time frame, etc. It is conceivable that this project would not start construction (if this is the recommendation) until 1986" By this time, if the spray irrigation system has a successful history in »drawing the contaminants back to the landfill site", the wells that were previously determined to be contaminated may be declared useable by the PCA and no project of any type may be needed" I believe we must approach this committee with the "worst case scenario"" We must have the attitude that there is an enormous amount of contaminants in the landfill and that additional wells will be declared unsuable in the future; and that, therefore, an alternate water source is needed" This approach will prepare us for the worst. 11" Attached is the history of Council discussions and correspondence regarding the bikp Rgth along the new County road 19B that will serve as an entrance in to the Regional Park, As you can tell, concerns on this issue started prior to my arrival to the City and most of this issue was handled by former administrator.
