MEETING MINUTES
Lauderdale City Hall
1891 Walnut Street
Lauderdale, MN 55113
April 4, 2012
Mayor Dains called the emergency meeting of the City Council to order at 9:00 p.m.
Councilors present: Mary Gaasch, Roxanne Grove, Denise Hawkinson, and Mayor Jeff Dains.
Councilor absent: Lara MacLean.
Staff present: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator; David Hinrichs, Public Works
Coordinator.
Mayor Dains explained that the meeting was being held to discuss the recent sewage spill and
efforts to clean the area impacted.
Butkowski and Hinrichs explained the sewage spill began in a manhole behind Twin City Die
Casting (TCDC) the evening of Friday, March 30, 2012. City staff and contractors worked
through the night to get the tree roots removed from the drop manhole. The backup itself did not
last long but resulted in sewage affecting TCDC's buildings and the surrounding area.
Staff contacted the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) on Monday to ask for
guidance on cleanup efforts. Staff received verbal approval that raking and hauling away the
material behind Twin City Die Casting (TCDC) on Wednesday morning met with approval. On
Wednesday, other MPCA staff said the city needed to expand its cleanup efforts. Staff spent
Wednesday afternoon and early evening trying to determine what would meet expectations.
City staff met with Veit USA staff to discuss ways to.remove the top layer of soil from behind
TCDC and cleanup any remaining material along 33`d Avenue SE. Veit provided a cost estimate
approaching $15,000 for equipment and staff for two days to complete the cleanup.
The Council asked questions related to the spill and proposed cleanup plan.
Councilor Hawkinson moved to contract with Veit USA on the cleanup of the area around
TCDC at a cost of approximately $15,000. Councilor Grove seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Councilor Hawkinson moved to adjourn the meeting. Councilor Gaasch seconded the
motion and it carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
