100 August 17, 1987 7.A Mining Permit Inspection Report As per Council direction, the city engineer has completed an on-site inspection of the Goiffon/Hansen mining operation. Mr. Kuusisto provided the Council with a written report of the inspection made on August 13, 1987, noting in particular, the need for repairs on Irish Avenue prior to the termination of the mining activities, and the installation of a security gate for the north pit. While in the inspection process, Mr. Kuusisto stated that he did not notice any NO TRES- PASSING signs around the pit. City Administrator, Ken Huber, had also submitted to the Council a proposed resolution defining the term "mining operation". This matter was to - be considered later in the agenda; however, the Council decided to discuss the proposed resolution in conjunction with the inspection report. Councilman Potts reviewed the proposed resolution, and felt that.the document should be withdrawn until certain legal issues are resolved, as defined in a letter from William A. Bierman to Sandra and Robert Malaski. Councilman Olson felt that Mr. Bierman's comments had some merit, and that Mr. Schuh should comply with his permit with reference to the installation of a gate at the north pit and placement of NO TRESPASSING signs. Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, that city staff direct a certified letter to the three holders of the mining permit (Andrew Goiffon, Darrell Hansen, and Richard F. Schuh) stating the following concerns be addressed: 1. Repair of shoulders on haul roads from the entrance gate of the pit to County Road 8A. Damaged areas are to be patched and.said work to be completed by 9/8/87. 2. Lockable gates be installed at the north end of the pit adjacent to 147th Street and at the Irish Avenue entrance to the gravel pit. The gate at the north end of the pit to be installed by 9/8/87, and shall be locked at 7:00 PM daily during the life of the permit. 3.
