Mr. Gulmont replied that <br />he coul~do that for his own job, but he shouldn't have to do so <br />for the City. And If he had known about the llmlte~ coverage as a <br />ftrefJghter, maybe he would have ~one something about lt. However, <br />no one knew about what was going on, again stating he shouldn't <br />have to take the whole brunt of the situation. <br /> <br />MOTION by DeLuca, Seconded by Peterson, to compensate Jay Gulmont <br />for $800 a month as proposed In the tentative short-term <br />disabl]l[y. If and when that short-term disability policy Is In <br />force, ]f the benefit Is more than that, ! think that should De <br />upgraded to that. If It Is less, we will leave It at $800 for thls <br />special case for two months. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />The Council recessed at 9:17 p.m.; reconvened at 9:40 p.m. <br /> <br />CASE <br /> <br />Request to Connect to City's Storm Sewer System by <br />Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc. <br /> <br />Mr. Hart]ey revlewed the background of the plan of Waste Management <br />of MinneSota, Inc., to ~ril] several barrier wells around the <br />]andflll i!an~ pump out the grounakwater, air strip it, and discharge <br />the grouqcN;ater into the Mississippi River. In or~er to accomplish <br />this, WMMI proposes to construct a forced main to where the water <br />could De.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. Hartl!ey stated one concern is that the City have no obligation <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 wi]] be <br />turned oflf until the total discharge capacity is reduced. He stated <br />he is reasonably sure that such a system In place will meet the <br />neeas of rthe community. The remaining issue is the quality of <br />water that will De discharged and Its impact on the Mississippi <br />River.
