Basically, the Flreflghters expresse~ surprise at what they <br />considered lack of coverage and their concern of putting their <br />lives on the line without additional coverage. Ms. McAloney <br />explained Mr. Oulmont has told her he is requesting compensation <br />from the time of the injury, October 21, and that he woulO sett)e <br />for $3,000 to carry him over to December 31, or $800 for for two <br />months. <br /> <br />Mr. Gulmont asked for what he thought Is fair, that he ~ldn't think <br />he should have to bear the full responsibility for what happened. <br />Mayor Relmann stated as a self-employe~ person, he had the option <br />of carrying his own disability insurance. Mr. Ouimont replied that <br />he could Uo that for his own job, but he shouldn't have to Uo so <br />for the City. And If he had known about the limited coverage as a <br />flreflghter, maybe he would have done something about lt. However, <br />no one ~new about what was going on, again stating he shouldn't <br />have to take the whole brunt of the situation. <br /> <br />MOTION Dy DeLuca, SeconOed by Peterson, to compensate Jay Gulmont <br />for $800 a month as proposed in the tentative short-term <br />disability. If and when that short-term disability policy Is in <br />force, if the benefit Is more than that, I think that should be <br />upgraded to that. If It Is less, we will leave it at $800 for this <br />special case for two months. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />The Councl] recessed at 9:17 p.m.; reconvened at 9:40 p.m. <br /> <br />CASE ~7: <br /> <br />Request to Connect to City's Storm Sewer System by <br />Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley reviewed the background of the plan of Waste Management <br />of Minnesota, Inc., to drill several barrier wells around the <br />landfl]l and pump out the groundwater, air strip it, and discharge <br />the groundwater into the Mississippi River. In order to accomplish <br />this, WMMI proposes to construct a forced main to where the water <br />could be discharged into the City's storm sewer where it will then <br />discharge to the Mississippi River. He also reviewed the concerns <br />of the Staff as outlined in the Agenda material. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated one concern is that the City have no ob]igation <br />to obtain or monitor an NPDES permit. Mr. Otter has assured him the <br />City will not be involved, but at this point he has not received <br />anything in writing to that effect. He continued that WMMI has also <br />agreed to install a monitoring system so that if water levels In <br />the storm sewer begin to get too high, the pumps at WMMI will be <br />turned off until the total discharge capacity is reduced. He stated <br />he is reasonably sure that such a system in place will meet the <br />needs of the conm-nunity. The remaining issue is the quality of <br />water that will be discharged and its Impact on the Mississippi <br />River. He has been told by Mr. Otter that when MPCA reviewed the <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL/DECEMBER 11, 1990 <br /> Page 11 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
