[Z¢I l lamilton, 6615 I lighway 10, si ~,tcd he monitored this odor all of last year and turned in a report to thc ('.ily that showed problems on April 22, April 29, May 6, and May 10. The odor only happens wl~cn thc wind is out of the northwest. If the City is going to randomly monitor the odor he suggests they do il when thc' wind is from the northwest on a humid day. He is sure they smell it next to him in the trailer pa~k, but do not want to lose their place in the park.

He read in the backup material that Mike l?o~n Commercial /\sphalt met with the Public Works Committee. He did not even know there was a l~ccting goiug on or l~e would have gone. He stated sometimes the smell is so bad it inllltratcs iulo the lnouso. Hc is positive there are carcinogens in the blacktop and that is not good lbr anyone, l lc already as!ced at the last Council meeting what the Council is going to do about this, and hc still would like to know. The Council will probably see him every two weeks until so~cthing is clo~lc about this;. Mayor Gamcc state:el Mr. Hamilton should contact the PCA and file a claim. Technically the ar~swcrs thc (;ily is getting arc contr-tdictory. As far as the PCA is concerned it is nothing that is City Council/May 11, 2004 Page 8 of 36
