Member LeTourneau stated this is not a high priority quantity wise but he disagreed on the <br />quality. He stated he sat in on the EPB Board meeting and they talked about the quality of the <br />site. He did bring forward to them explaining this site has all of the infrastructure but there is a <br />lot of discussion and concern around the quality of the site as it relates to environmental issues <br />because of the great unknown associated with what is going on with the decomposition of that <br />land fill. There seems to be a real concern from the EPB's perspective in regards to any kind of <br />issues moving forward. <br />Economic Development Manager /Assistant City Administrator Brama thought from a personal <br />staff perspective, that is a perception issue. <br />Chairperson Steffen asked what the process was for trying to change this. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill reviewed the process with the Board. He believed they <br />needed to adopt a land use plan but thought there was room to negotiate the small parcel of land <br />adjacent to the landfill. <br />Member Riley recommended the City should carve out the piece of land they want to use and <br />bring that forward to the EPA. <br />Member Hardin agreed. <br />5.
