Basicallyi, Metro Council has said that there is a need for the expansion and the City ~as~isaid that more analysis justifying need is necessary and that there s~o~ldibe~ a bearing process. On October 8, the Metro Council will be conducti~ a lpublic hearing at Ramsey Elementary School regarding Waste Management o~ Minnesota, Inc.'s request for vertical expansion. Merland Otto's recommendation is not to approach Metro Council with emotional appeals; that the Airport Commission should recommend that the City Council and Staff do whatever ils necessary to prepare documentation proving that the need for expans£on~doesn't exist. Discussion e~sued and it was determined that it would not be appropriate for the AirpOrt Commission to recommend Council and Staff review the adequacy of landfill ~aptcity. It would be more appropriate for the Airport Commission to provide ~ letter, for submittal at the public hearing, documenting that Gateway North AirPort is recognized at a national level and that airports and landfills are non-c~mpatible land uses. Commissioner Seibert volunteered to draft the letter. ~: Reei~nation Of Commissioner Stephen Larsen: Chairman Ippel stated that Mr. Larsen is going back to school and that will put him on a Itight schedule; feels he must resign from the Commission. Motion by,, Commissioner Sieber and seconded by Commissioner Seibert to accept Mr. Steph~n Sarsen's resignation from the Airport Commission and to request that City Covncil advertise to fill the vacancy. Motion ~mrried. Voting Yes: Chairman Ippel, Commissioners Seibert, Sieber, Chapman, DonOvan and Greenberg. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Stauffe~ ;and Erickson. Commission consensus is that a letter of appreciation be forwarded to Mr. Larsen. ReView Contract For Environmental Assessment: Chairman iIppel stated that the Commission is now at a point of making a decisioR i~egarding whether or not to recommend that Council approve a contract with Hak~so~/Anderson for the environmental assessment of Gateway North Airport~ il MI~/DoT would participate in the cost and Council's approval of the contract ~ould be contingent upon MN/DoT approval. Mr. Hart~ey Proceeded to review the contract with the Commission. The contract does refer t~ two sub-contractors, one of which is C. R. Pelton. C. R. Pelton provides iestimates on what some of the appraisal and relocation costs will be. City At~9~ne~ Goodrich can provide the same service for $2,000 less. Mr. Hartley ~tated that the contract should also address workman's comp and liabillt~y imsurance. Mr. Nartley stated that another item to be discussed is that thelmanner in which the engineering firm will receive payment; contract is set ~p with a lump sum payment for services. Mr. Hartley stated that he had originally r~quested that the termination clause provide that work completed be billed o~ an~hourly basis with a 'not to exceed' amount; the contract proposes that if termination occurs, the engineer will be paid according to the percenta§e of work that is complete and willl receive 100% of reimbursable September 10, 1986 Page 3 of 6
