WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo wishes it to be clearly understood <br />by all persons interested in this issue that it neither shares <br />nor accepts any responsibility for the decisions of the counties <br />seeking resolution of this matter, <br />WHEREAS, it has been the City of Lake Elmo's experience that <br />Washington and Ramsey Counties have demonstrated callous <br />disrespect of environmental problems created by their landfill in <br />Lake Elmo, and as a result, have shown themselves to be unrespon- <br />sive and irresponsible landfill operators. <br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO: <br />1. That the City of Lake Elmo strongly condemns the action of <br />Washington and Ramsey Counties choosing options other than <br />an adequate public water supply to resolve the pollution <br />problem they created at the Lake Jane landfill; and <br />2. That the City of Lake Elmo is and will remain strongly <br />opposed to the placement within the City of any other land- <br />fill or waste facility operated by either or both of the <br />aforewaid counties or any other entity on behalf of the <br />aforesaid counties. <br />3. The City rejects as woefully inadequate and manifestly in <br />bad faith the combined offer of $175,000 from Washington <br />and Ramsey Counties to pay for a municipal water system. <br />4. The City urges the aforesaid counties to offer to directly <br />compensate the affected homeowners in the same or greater <br />amount, to wit, $175,000 or more. <br />5. The City finds that the bad faith offer of the counties to <br />be a sufficient basis to close any further discussion of <br />this matter and to remove itself altogether from this <br />matter between the counties and the affected homeowners. <br />Passed unanimously by the City Council of. Lake Elmo, Minnesota, <br />the third day of June, 1986. <br />ct. v�a <br />David Morgan, Mayor <br />Attest: <br />I <br />Robert Lee Overby, Cit Administrator <br />
