-2- Special Meeting/ Council eptember 21, 1976 aste Man.agement Mayor Cox was concerned in regard to their intentions today, that they may for some reason not materialize after the Anoka contract is finished. Mr. Otter said commitments we will be making to the City of Ramsey will be formalized on paper. They will enter into agreement with Ramsey. Mayor Cox said he could not live with the 2% figure proposed, not knowing where we stand for completion. We would have to have some understand~ng of the cubic feet going in and a control on it. Mr. Otter said they pay a base rental of $4,000 per month to the City of Anoka. Mayor Cox directed that the City Engineer and City Attorney draft up what the City of Ramsey wants in the proposal. Mayor Cox said we have made requests in the past, we have spent two years requesting. He is fed up with negotiations, letters, meetings, and wants something done now. At this point we are right back where we were two years ago with the negotiations. He said it is very irritating to sit back and sit back and not get anything done. And, Waste Management could walk away from the project anytime. Waste Management said if the City is concerned about them walking away, they could enter into a contract with the City. Mayor Cox asked, why not enter into a contract right away? Waste Management replied stating that they have not been:.in a bargaining position. Until last month they have been left out of the picture sitting in limbo. Mayor Cox agreed that Mr. Otter had a point there. Mr. Otter asked that consecutive meetings be set up until this matter is put to bed.
