Dick Johnson stated the City should not fix the roof if there are plans of tearing the building down. The City Council was not in favor of selling the building because of the factors stated. They asked that the bids for repairing the roof be brought back to the City Council before the bids are accepted. B. Dennis LaCroix, owner of the Twin Point Tavern, 11199 Stillwater Boulevard stated that he wanted to stay in the 201 Program. He is now pumping once a week and would be willing to consider tearing up his blackstop for a drainfield. City Engineer Bohrer will meet with Dennis to try to lay out some new parking configurations and see if they can come up wth a solution. Councilman Moe asked if the Twin Point Tavern could go with Leslie's Floor Decor on a joint system? Bohrer answered they would have to prove a need exists to the MPCA. Right now Leslie's system is working and appears that their water use will be less than the former use that was in there.

This proposal was discussed at the last Council meeting (4-2.1-87). Formal approval of the program was deferred to this meeting so that the City Attorney could review the draft agreement between Junker Sanitation and the City. Bruce Dunn stated that Junker Sanitation would not be emptying all bags, just the non -biodegradable ones. Councilman Johnson asked about requiring a bond for cleanup or for liability because of the possibility of hazardous waste getting combined with the yard waste. Bruce Dunn responed that bonding may not be possible to get. Johnson stated he is in favor of this project, but wants the City protected as best possible. Mayor Christ felt they would monitor it closely, have an annual contract and feels any waste outside the ordinary would be caught rather quickly. Scotty Lyall suggested considering having a disposal site as well for pesticides or a bottle of chemicals. City Attorney Knaak stated the Counties will be looking at this for household waste. Councilmember Armstrong felt they should have had this 6-page composting agreement earlier to look at. If the City Attorney likes the language, she was satisfied, but still felt the Council should have received this agreement earlier.
