Case #6: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the City of Ramsey's estimated allocation for 1992 CDBG is in the amount of $28,090. She stated that 1992 is the third year of a three-year cycle; therefore, the City must do a project in 1992 as these funds cannot be carried over into the next three-year spending cycle. Ms. Frolik added that Staff is proposing that City Council conduct the CDBG public hearing at their meeting on February 11, 1992, and allocate the funds at their meeting on February 25, 1992. She stated that Ramsey had recently been notified that there is currently $1,851.77 in unallocated CDBG funds from prior years. Ms. Frolik informed the Council that these funds must be allocated by January 13, 1992 or they will be forfeited. She felt the most cost efficient use of this money would be to allocate it to the Anoka county Housing Rehabilitation Program. Motion by Councilmember Hardin and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to schedule and advertise a public hearing regarding the use of 1992 CDBG funds for Tuesday, February 11, 1992 at 7:30 p.m. Further discussion: Councilmember Peterson asked Ms. Frolik to explore the possibility of using the CDBG dollars for restoration of the old town hall (school) building. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Hardin, Beyer, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. Motion by Councilmember Hardin and seconded by Mayor Gilbertson to adopt Resolution #91-12- 272 allocating $1,851.77 in Community Development Block Grant Funds to the Anoka County Housing Rehabilitation Program. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Hardin, Beyer, Cich and Peterson. Voting No: None. Mayor Gilbertson recessed the meeting at 9:02 p.m. Mayor Gilbertson called the meeting back to order at 9:15 p.m. Case #7: Extension to the Conditional Use Permits Issued to Waste Management of Minnesota City Administrator Schroeder stated that on November 15, 1988, City Council issued a conditional use permit to Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. for vertical expansion, which resulted in the fact that the landfill would be operating for another five years maximum. He stated the CUP also included language about reviewing the landfill operation which is what is occurring at this time. Mr. Schroeder reported that the volumes of waste received since the expansion approval have been significantly less than originally projected; therefore, the grades of the landfill are deficient of where Waste Management thought they would be by this point in time. As a result of this, Waste Management is intending to submit an application with the Pollution Control Agency (PCA) for a new grading plan. They have further reported that the preparation of this plan and initial review by the PCA will take about six months. He added that Staff feels it is in the City's best interest to assist Waste Management's efforts to receive PCA review of a new grading plan. Mt'. Don Otter, Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. was present and upon inquiry regarding the closure of the landfill, replied they are still pursuing the closure date of December 31, 1993. The City Council wanted the statement on record that the CUP was issued by the 1988 City Council. City Council/December 17, 199'~ Page 7 of 11
