LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 7, 1984 PAGE 10 The consensus of the residents attending this meeting was that they would rather see a mass burn plant than a RDF plant. Basically, because their perception is that a RDF plant is dirtier, and more refuse would be shipped out with a RDF plant. Mazzara further stated that the Board realizes that the residents would prefer the mass burn facility; and also that a RDF plant would be easier to locate than a mass burn facility. Morgan stated that the two concerns about the RDF are that the residual volume is higher and it is also likely to be a lot more toxic. So you will still "landfill" more with a RDF than you will with a mass burn. The administrator stated that he is starting to look at dollar figures for the budget and it came to mind that we requested funds to do a comprehensive storm water sewer and water study. At what point in the process would the City be able to get the funds to do these studies? . Mazzara responded that he is constantly reassured that the Board will pick up all of these costs. Right now, they are not committing any funds at any amount to Lake Elmo until we actually decide which technology we are going to go for. The timetable we have right now is to accept or reject RDF, with all the figures that we have on hand by January 1, 1985. B. Morgan: Speeding trucks on Lake Elmo Avenue. Morgan stated that the week of July 30th, Lake Elmo Avenue was like 5 construction zone. Gravel carriers were wheeling thru there at hig rates of speed. He was told that this material was being hauled to Oakdale and Morgan questioned why they had to use Lake Elmo Avenue instead of loth Street. If this is still going on, Morgan requested that the staff find out why Lake Elmo Avenue is being used rather than loth Street. 9. Administrator's Report A.
