Further Discussion~ Mayor Heitman asked Police (hief Auspos if he thinks the offioers would request arbitration to occur earlier than the time frame Council is oonsidering in this motion. Councilmamber Cox stated that Mayor Heitman's question of Mr. Auspos is inapproIxiate. Mr. Auspos stated he has never been a union steward and he doesn't know if an offer can change things onoe an arbitration has been filed for; he is sure the officers are going to request that the union file for arbitration. Mr. Schnelle stated the issue can be resolved anytime before arbitration begins; however, payment will still be required to both side of arbitration. Oouncilm~mber Cox stated that it was his understanding that the Personnel Ommnittee was established to be able to discuss matters without making front page news coverage. Gouncilm~nber Cox stated that it is important to be respectful of people and matters and Ramsey's Personnel meetings have be(x~ne a front page fiasoo and that is not appropriate. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Heitman, Gouncilmmbers Sorteberg, COx, Reimann and Schlueter. Voting No: None. f&%~ Anoka County ~vironmental Services Cxm~ittee: Mr. Schnelle inquired if Council wants to make a statenent to the County Board regarding Waste Management of Minnesota, Inc's request for a lifting of the development moratorium. Mr. Schnelle stated that not making a statement shows the County Board that Ramsey is not informed or doesn't care. Oouncilm~mber Oox stated that in reviewing the matter more carefully, he believes more than ever, that Waste Mangement of Minnesota is reserving that area to the north for Site P and if they are going to take soils from the north 80, Ramsey should respond to it. Gouncilme~ber Oox stated that he believes Ramsey is being fooled into believing that Waste Management's request will be a benefit to Ramsey and he doesn't believe it's really what Ramsey wants. Mr. Douglas Fountain was present and stated that in Novenber of 1984, Waste Management of Minnesota asked Ramsey for 700,000+ yards of oover; they then went to the County and asked for 500,000+ yards of cover; in the meeting with the Gounty Enviromnental Services last week, Waste Management of Minnesota said they oould reduce their request to 200,000+ yards of oover. ~he (2bunty Enviror~nentm]_ Services did not make a r~endation; they passed it onto the Health and Social Services (k~nmittee which will be meeting on August 8. Health and Social Services G~ttee will make a reo~m~endation to the County co~ssioners. Waste Management of Minnesota has not ruled out the possibility of borrowing frcm the north 80; that area is not in the moratoriun area but the prooess would have to follow City prooedures, including a public hearing. Motion by Mayor Heitman and seconded by Gouncilmenber Gox, for further discussion, to table further discussion of this issue until the results of the Health and Social Services __cctv__ ittee are kncwn. Further Discussion: Councilmember Cox stated that Ramsey should indicate that whatever p~ocedure or action is taken be consistent with Ramsey's previous position statement to the County regarding Ramsey not wanting any further activity beyond what is designed at the present landfill configuration and he July 29, 1985 Page 17 of 22
