He also advised at that time that Waste Management had concluded a deal to purchase the Westphal property which is the 80 acres north of the existing site. 9/23/82 Councilman Cox and I attended the full Metropolitan Council meeeting. At this meeting the Council accepted Site P as it was proposed by Anoka County. We also had at that time a brief meeting with Mr. Don Otter who again proposed that Waste Management purchase the existing site. 9/27/82 Mayor Gamec, Anoka Mayor Dick Bloomquist, Anoka City Manager Jerry Dulgar, Anoka's Attorney Tom Gedde and I met to discuss the Anoka/ Ramsey ownership question of the landfill. It was stated at this meeting that Anoka wants to negotiate the final disposition of the existing landfill with Ramsey. Mayor Gamec said he would discuss this with our Council and get back to them on this subject. 9/28/82 The Anoka County Board met, at which time Councilman Cox read a letter from Ramsey stating our position on the existing site. The County Board was encouraging and passed a resolution directing that a committtee be set up to study "landfill alternatives" as they relate to the County and requesting the Metropolitan Council delay action on Site P selection. 9/29/82 Letter written to the Metropolitan Council advising of the County's 9/28/82 action. 9/3O/82 I reviewed the County's draft of the minutes of the 9/28/82 meeting and met with the County Attorney and told him that I felt the minutes did not properly reflect the County Board's actual intention. The County Attorney said the minutes were accurate. 10/4/82 City Engineer Raatikka, City Administrator Schnelle and I met to lay out an.outline for the preparation of the landfill impact study. 10/5/82 Drafted a letter to Commissioner Edward Fields expressing our concern over the quality of the 9/28/82 draft minutes and requested that when the minutes are finally adopted on 10/12/82, that they properly reflect the Board's action.
