-4- Regular Council Meeting October .12~ 1976 ' reported on the monetary value the City of Ramsey would receive. Also Waste Management has agreed to pay the $28,000 easement acquisition bill on Sunfish Lake Boulevard by October 25, 1976. Mayor Cox backgrounded the audience on the landfill from township government to present. He said the landfill operated since 1972 without a reasonable contract. Engineer Sha said the ramifications and concern are in the contract itself. Things we thought would be reasonable to ask for. The next step is three contracts: Waste Management and Anoka, Waste Management and Ramsey; and Anoka's conveyance to Ramsey. His reaction is that it doesn't make that much difference to Ramsey who owns the property purchased for public purposes as long as Anoka signs its interest to Ramsey after five years. Discussion held on the appropriate amount of bond. Consensus is that the bond would have to be in an amount sufficient enough to protect but not overbond and that at a future time the bond may be decreased. Mayor Cox stated he is concerned about the sludge pot which was dyked in with pilings. He asked how long it was in operation and that it was entirely in violation of the contract. Mr. Otter replied that they did not start the landfill operation and the sludge operations were there prior to their coming. He guessed roughly that the sludge operation had been for a period of two years. Mayor Cox said heavy metal and contamination is of great concern and a serious part of pollutant caused by the sludge operation has all been covered.
