GOODRICH LANDFILL SEPTEMBER 13, 1982 This morning we met with Lynne Takemoto of the Metropolitan Coumcil Staff. She reviewed the current Metropolitan Council procedures on Site P selection which include the following meehings this week: Metropolitan Waste Management Advisory Committee -- meeting at 2:00 P.M. ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1982. Metropolitan Council's Physical Development Committee -- meeting a% 3:00 P.M. ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1982. Metropolitan Council -- meeting at 4:00 P.M. ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1982. Ms. Takemoto further advised us that the first meeting, September 14, is the most important with the meeting on the 16th being a little less important as far as having changes made in the Site P selection process. The Council should authorize a spokesperson' for the meetings on the 14th and 16th. We see little need to attend the meeting on the 23rd. It would seem that the City's position to be presented at the two meetings should be a reiteration of the Council's resolutions numbered 82-108, 82-119 and 82-120. At our meeting with Ms. Takemoto, she advised that she would amend the staff report in the following areas in an attempt to meet some of Ramsey's concerns: Existing and Future Development Patterns. Require the county, as a part of its environmental assessment on Site P, to include the potential economic impact of the site on the City. Facility'_s Proposed Final Use. Require the county to develop more detailed plans in cooperation with the City of Ramsey 'relating to Site P's final end use. Make more explicit the City's concerns relating to the existing site and require the county to address this site in its environmental assessment.
