I I I I I ! I I I I I I I I I I I i I Mayor Gamec menttoned.ithat one of Ramsey's concerns is it's eligibility for grant funding, namely LAWCON grants. Those grants are designated for parks developed within an urban area and Ramsey's Central Park, which will serve the entire City, is located in a Rural area. Ramsey feels the way that funding is set up is unfair to cities like Ramsey and the requirements of that grant should be reviewed. Mayor Gamec noted that Ramsey doesn't fall in the right category for most grants -- cities of our type just don't fit in. Councilmember Retmann brought up the subject of hazardous waste and landfills. Councilmember Reimann stated that if the State is going to dictate where these sites are to be located they should set up some strict regulations regarding installation and safety precautions. Ms. Nunn stated that her organization is not involved in hazardous waste because Legislature has set up a Waste Management Board of which Bob Dunn is Chairman. Councilmember Schlueter stated that she serves on the Processing Area Task Force and they want some assurances that dollars will be provided to cover the costs of any problems created, other than the city picking up those costs. Councilmember Schlueter stated PATF gets the feeling that the Waste Management Board is more concerned with mitigation and compensation for those cities that are sited for landfill disposal rather than thosesited for processing. Ramsey is concerned as to what Metro Council can do once the issue gets to Legislature to see that we get our mitigation and compensation. Ms. Nunn replied that when the report comes out and if it doesn't address all of the concerns, contact your State Legislator and Senator and inform them that you don't thing the report is adequate.
