unds View City Council ~gular Meeting August 12, 1991 Page Six will be an increased liability for the City. If problems arise Ramsey County will not give them another year. Dennis Sewill President of Dynex stated that he appreciated Commissioner McCarty's issues. Mr Sewill stated that by regulation Dynex has to inform the Fire Chief of what Dynex has stored in the building. The Fire Chief brings tours of firemen in from other Cities. Some material will stay 90 days. The idea is to get a load and keep the materials moving. If the materials received are questionable, Dynex will be able to identify them and store them safely until disposal. It was noted that before materials are received by us they were sitting in someone'$ basement or garage and the advantage of a household hazardous waste facility is that. the materials can be stored safely. The household hazardous wastes that will most frequently be collected in Mounds View will be paints, solvents and pesticides. . Councilmember Blanchard asked when does .the City, County and State get involved in the inspection process? Dennis Sewill, Dynex, further stated that the county will ultimately inspect the facility but that the building is inspected for additions or changes by the City's building inspector. Orduno stated that Dynex will probably be under accelerated inspections. Dennis Sewill, Dynex further stated that the county will regulate the facility on behalf of the-MPCA: "'With the`type"of'household hazardous wastes and the level of expertise and training needed for this type of collection, it would be difficult for the City to maintain inspections in-house. The county would notify the City of when the inspections would be done. The Fire Department will also monitor. and oversee Dynex closely. The City's level of involvement with the inspections would be very slight. Commissioner McCarty stated that the County's inspection department is very enthusiastic and inspections are performed very carefully, diligently and timely. Mr. McCarty understands that Fire Chief Fagerstrom is probably very familiar with Dynex, but is the department equipped for this new stream of waste or does different equipment have to be purchased?
