Motion Carried. <br />MCES OFFICIALS <br />CD Director Bryan Bear invited officials from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services to <br />update Council regarding the proposed location and construction of storage tanks south of the MCES lift <br />station along CSAH 8. Adam Gordon, project manager for the Northeast Sewer Interceptor Service <br />Project, reviewed with Council potential sites for the tanks, with Site A on the LaValle farm being the <br />favorite over Site C in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. Landscape architect, Rich Gray, outlined ways to <br />landscape the tanks from public view. <br />Puleo made motion, Petryk seconded, that the City supports the selection of Site A on the LaValle farm <br />for location of the storage tanks. <br />After further discussion, Puleo and Petryk withdrew their motion. <br />Council concurred that Met Council should lease the LaValle property rather than purchase to assure that <br />the tanks are definitely removed and the land revert to the LaValle family in the future. The public <br />hearing process will be followed by MCES when they made application for a Conditional Use Permit <br />prior to placement of the tanks anywhere in the City. <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br />Granger made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve the following Consent Agenda: <br />Approval of Claims <br />
