REAPP REPORT Todd Williams reported REAPP has approached the Council. with their need for additional funds ($50,000 minimum, but desire $100,000) to fund a professionally guided public information campaign to oppose the proposed landfill in the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. Despite of their best efforts, they have learned they have not reached the public the way they intended to. REAPP feels the decision to site a landfill in the Park is a political decision and they need to try harder to influence that decision by rousing public support. This is done by demonstrations, sending out information to the public, and asking people to write their County Board Commissioners and legislators. Williams made an appeal to anyone in Lake Elmo who has public relations experience and who would volunteer to help direct this effort or volunteer to work on the effort, please get in touch with him, Dan Novak?or the City office. Cindy Zeher, new resident at 8890 15th St. N., stated she was uninformed of this landfill proposal. and agreed with REAPP that the community was not aware of the visual and noise impact of a landfill.
