Motion by Councilmember Pearson and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to adopt <br />Resolution #89-08-192 authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to enter into a cost <br />reimbursement agreement with Metro Council for up to $100,000 for technical review of <br />the EIS and support documents for candidate landfzll sites. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember Pearson expressed concern that entering into this <br />agreement will give the impression of a green light to Site P. Mr. Hartley stated that <br />entering into this agreement does not imply a green light to Site P; the EIS and support <br />documents must be reviewed by each of the candidate cities; Ramsey has already incurred <br />some expenses relating to the EIS process; the subject agreement would allow Ramsey to <br />be reimbursed for the costs related to evaluating the EIS. Councilmember DeLuca noted <br />that the agreement requires copies of technical reviews being submitted in order to receive <br />reimbursement; some of those technical reviews might contain sensitive information <br />relating to Ramsey's position to oppose Site P; can those reviews be held back for <br />reimbursement until after the City determines it is appropriate to release that information? <br />Mr. Goodrich did not foresee any problems. <br /> <br />Councilmembers Pearson and DeLuca amended the motion to include that the resolution <br />will indicate that the City's acceptance of reimbursement funds does not indicate any <br />intention of welcoming Site P and encouraging it's location. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
