conditional use permit and then stand up on another forum to oppose <br />vertical expansion. These concerns can be put into terms that the City and <br />Waste Management can agree with. All other points raised by Mr. Goodrich <br />are not unsurmountable; it may be that language changes to areas of concern <br />will bring both parties to terms on the agreement. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - 6522 153rd - Inquired if Waste Management is proposing a ski <br />hill for the money. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich - Replied that it doesn't appear that Waste Management is <br />attempting to make a profit. All emphasis in the agreement is focused on <br />trying to break-even. Making a profit would be good because the City wants <br />the ski hill operation to stay in business. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - P~quested clarification of that part of the agreement that <br />refers to a $50,000 settlement in exchange for a ski hill. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich - Replied that if for reasons of economics Waste Management <br />determines that they cannot make a good ski hill project, either before or <br />after construction has started, they must pay to the City $50,000 less <br />costs already incurred in the project. That $50,000 cannot be deposited in <br />the the City's General Fund; it must be placed into a recreational fund for <br />that specific purpose. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - Inquired if the $50,000 could be used on the landfill site for <br />something other than a ski hill. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich - Replied that it would be possible. <br /> <br />Jan Reiter - Inquired if the excavation from the east, west and south <br />borrows areas means there will be digging from those areas; she thought the <br />north borrow area would be excavated and placed on top of the landfill. <br /> <br />Terry Miller - Operator of the Anoka Sanitary Regional Landfill - Replied <br />that the area to be excavated is north of the existing landfill. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley referred to Ms. Reiter's question regarding the $50,000 and <br />noted that if Waste Management stops the project after construction, most <br />likely the costs incurred by them will have exceeded $50,000 and there will <br />be no payment due the city but the city would have the option to take over <br />the project. <br /> <br />Douglas Fountain - 15255 Garnet Street - Stated that Waste Management is <br />requiring significant up-front performance from Ramsey without any <br />guarantees of performance on their part. <br /> <br />Ralph Smithers - 6560 153rd Lane - Inquired about the alignment of the <br />153 rd Avenue extension. <br /> <br />Mr. Miller - Replied that 153rd would come off of Sunfish Lake Blvd. and go <br />to the west; it is not sure if the entrance to the ski slope would be on <br />the west or east end of the new proposed 153rd; presently it is planned to <br />go towards the eastern portion of the new proposed 153rd. <br /> City Council/March 9, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 8 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
