Mayor Gamec said if the city could revise the M.S.A.S. System to conform to the proposed thoroughfare plan and include the eligible miles in the M.S.A.S. System and not change the Comprehensive Plan, it would be good. But i~ would cost too much to change the Comprehensive Plan. He felt Building Official Berg could handle this. The council noted that they have been informed that the Minnesota State Highway Publication showing State M.S.A. Highway allocation is available for their review. ~) Ramsey Landfill Mayor Gamec informed the council that he went out to the Ramsey Landfill after he received a call from Dan Hatch regarding a bad smell which had been out there for a week. He said the smell was noticeable a block away from the landfill and it was the strongest he had ever see'!out there. He said there was a trench 6' deep and 5' wide and the open part ran for 100 yards. He said he went there at approximately 6:30 p.m. He said he discussed the matter with the Hatchf. s and the next morning¥ he contacted Commissioner Fields and told him it was his job to see that the situation was resolved. Commissioner Fields got back to him an hour later and set it would be taken care of that night. The next morning it was pretty well alleviated. They filled it in and covered it with plastic. Councilman Cox said those people were advised not to let this happen again. Mayor Gamec said he told Commissioner Fields that this particular problem is one that should never have happened and it was neglect. The County Public Health Department should have made sure that smell didn't happen and there are several things they could have done to prevent it. A Ramsey resident said they have eight holes standing open at the landfill. Mayor Gamec said they put plastic there to alleviate water going down and odor coming up. C/October 28, 1980 Page 9
