There was discussion and concern regarding locating a landfill in the indus- trial development section of the city, it might curtail development and that would be financially desirable to the city. Also, it would be necessary to hook up to the metropolitan sewer system and there is some public opposition to this. Bill Goodrich, City of Ramsey; Arnold Cox, Ramsey city council; Tom Renner, citizen and Bob Hutchison, Anoka County all spoke at length to the issue. Tom Renner discussed the possible effects of the proposed landfill on the wells in the area; Bill Goodrich said the city has not taken a stand on the issue. Motion was made and seconded to table action and direct the city, county and staff to prepare additional analysis on the impact of the site. There was discussion regarding the pros and cons of tabling. Motion failed. Motion was made and seconded that the Metropolitan Council approve Anoka County's candidate landfill Site P in Ramsey as suitable for disposal of mixed municipal solid waste, and adopt the staff report, as amended.
