Councilmember Cox stated that there will be a meeting December l, <br />1982 regarding Waste Management Advisory Committee. Because of <br />the large size of this committee, two sub~comittees are being <br />formed: Landfill Abatement and Compensation and Mitigation. <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he doesn't know if he will ever be <br />in a position to represent Ramsey, but should that situation <br />arise, he would like some direction from Council. Mr. Cox <br />stated that at this point he feels Site P should be eliminated <br />and Ramsey will have to accept somewhat of an expansion of the <br />present site. Councilmember requested a majority feeling from <br />Council and stated that in no way was he going to try and <br />establish a policy for the community of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec agreed that it is time for Ramsey to take a stand, <br />force direction, and first priority is ownership. Mayor Gamec <br />also stated that Ramsey has to make a positive out of a negative. <br /> <br />Councilmember Sorteberg stated that he sees no need for expansion <br />until the present site is capped the way it was supposed to be. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle inquired as to Council's stand on hazardous waste <br />facilities being located in Ramsey. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that a hazardous waste facility is <br />much safer than a landfill because of strict regulations that <br />go with it. He further stated that he is not encouraging a <br />hazardous waste in Ramsey, but it could enhance industrial <br />growth. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec directed that a letter be sent to the Hazardous <br />Waste Board stating that Ramsey should not be-considered a <br />suitable location for a hazardous waste facility because Ramsey <br />does not meet the following criteria: <br /> <br />Ramsey does not have the amount of sewer capacity <br />designated to the City. <br /> <br />It would restrict the growth of other businesses <br />moving into the City. <br /> <br />c. Danger of railroad crossings. <br /> <br />d. No fire protection near by. <br /> <br />Waste would have to travel through high density population <br />in order to get to Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka brought up the matter of the stop sign at Sunfish <br />and Industry Blvd. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg <br />to adopt Resolution #82-163 requesting the Anoka County Highway Department remove <br />the north/south stop sign at the intersection of Sunfish Lake Blvd. NW and Industrial <br />Blvd. NK4 in Ramsey. Please refer to resolution file for Resolution #82-163, <br /> Mot~ion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cox, <br /> Sorteberg, Reimann and Van Wagner. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />C/November 23, 1982 <br /> Page 20 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
