LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 5-7-85 PAGE 5 would like the City to select a site. The site that has been proposed is the parking lot of the VFW. The VFW has indicated they would be in agreement but would like to hear officially from the City that it would like that as the recycling site. The items recycled would be tin cans, aluminum cans, glass, paper, cardboard and oil. Bellaire would have the site open from 8:00 a.m. until noon, one Saturday a month. They will be responsible for all cleanup of the site, which will be in the contract. Prince asked the Council to send a letter to the County Health Department saying that the City supports the proposal that Bellaire Sanitation has given them, and to write a letter to the VFW requesting their parking lot for the site. Zack Hansen responded by stating that there were five different parties represented at the preproposal conference. There is not just one bidder for the Lake Elmo area. The proposals initially received may not be the ones that are finally developed into contracts. Once negotiations are over, the staff will make a recommendation to the Board which potential contractor to select or to not select any. It may mean that none of the proposals meet the County and City's needs in terms of recycling and it may mean that the grant money is put into the communities in a different manner. It was the consensus of the Council to indicate to the County that the City supports this program and that the City is anxious to hear their recommendations. If the VFW site is what we want, this too can be indicated in the letter to the County. 10. City Engineer's Report A. Review 4-29-85 Washington and Ramsey County Board meeting when the Lake Elmo safe drinking water/landfill issue was discussed. The Engineer referred to his correspondence dated May l in which he attempted to further condense the six issues over .which the City and the Counties still disagree. The Council did not give any further direction to the Engineer but authorized him to proceed as outlined in his letter. It was noted that the issue of liability needs to be cleared up by the County as far as what type of liability they would like release from. This would then somewhat determine what the City's response would be to that issue. B. Step 3 Engineering Agreement The Engineer distributed copies of the proposed Step 3 Engineering Agreement at the last Council meeting and was given permission to forward it to the MPCA for its review. The Engineer asked at this time if there were any comments on the agreement. The Administrator reported that he had reviewed the document for form and content and that it is a similar type of agreement alaready approved for Steps 1. and 2. The City Council had no further comments on the proposed agreement.
