City Attorney Goodrich stated that the City receives a royalty payment consisting of 10% of the monthly gross revenue received by the Anoka Regional Landfill. He explained the agreement between the City and Waste Management permits Waste Management to deduct any tax, fee or surcharge imposed by federal, state or local governmental authorities prior to the determination of the monthly gross revenue. In May of 1989, the MPCA required owners of solid waste disposal facilities to establish financial assurance for closure and post-closure care at a facility. Waste Management has elected to supply a Letter of Credit to meet its financial assurance requirement. The amount required is $6,714,662.00. Waste Management has determined that based on the gate yards capacity at the landfill, the Letter of Credit requirement costs $2.71/gate yard of fill and they are therefore deducting this amount as a tax or fee and then figuring the monthly gross. This action significantly reduces the revenues to the City. Attorney Goodrich stated he will be meeting with Anoka's Attorney and when they arrive at a common position, they will present that to Waste Management in an attempt to resolve this issue. Case #15: McKinley Street Extension Right-Of-Way Acquisition Agreements Mr. Goodrich stated that on December 11, 1990, City Council authorized acquisition of right-of- way for the McKinley Street extension based on certain terms. City Staff has contacted both property owners who are in general agreement with the terms. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer that the City enter into a Real Property Acquisition Agreement and Municipal Street and Utility Improvement Agreement as attached with Leonard J. Spohn and Lois J. Spohn and Ramsey 67 Partnership for acquisition of the McKinley street extension right-of-way. The City Attorney and City Administrator are authorized to make minor amendments to the respective agreements without further City Council approval. Said minor amendments shall not include any substantive changes. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Cich and Hardin. Voting No: None. Case #16: Adopt Policy for Payment Processing of UtiIity Bills Mrs. Helling stated that utility bills are generally due within fifteen days from the date of invoicing, and the Council approval of the bills generally takes thirty days which results in late charges having to be paid. She stated these additional fees could be avoided if the utility bills could be paid after staff approval. Motion by Councilmember Cich and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve Resolution #91-03-069 authorizing payment of utility bills upon approval by the appropriate Department Head or City Administrator. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Cich, Beyer, Hardin and Peterson. Voting No: None. City Council/March 13, 1991 Page 10 of 11
