WNS October 28, 1980 Dear Mayor Bloomquist: City of Ramsey Mayor Richard Bloomquist 2015 First Avenue Anoka, Minnesota 55303 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 • (612) 427 -1410 RE: City of Anoka Landfill I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with you the contract be- tween the City of Anoka and the City of Ramsey relating to the future of the Anoka Landfill. As you are no doubt aware, that contract is dated October 25, 1976 and provides that Anoka will convey fee title to the land- fill property to Ramsey no "sooner than October 31, 1981, and no later than December 1, 1981." Recently, the existence of the landfill has been the source of much concern to the City of Ramsey and residents living in its general vicinity. I am certain you are aware of these concerns because of newspaper publicity as well as your attendance of Ramsey's September 15, 1980 meeting regarding this matter. The concerns of the community regarding the landfill as well as the landfill's future are, therefore, priority items with the City of Ramsey City Council. It is for the above reasons that I am writing this letter. It would seem to be in the best interests of both of our Cities for a committee to be formed to discuss the orderly transfer of the landfill property. I suggest that the committee consist of our respective City managers, City Attorneys and one Council person from each City Council. It is my hope that the committee can meet and resolve any problems relating to the land transfer and "iron out" the details generally present regarding such a matter. I would appreciate your Council's review of the above and I look forward to your response in the near future. Sincerely, CITY OF RAMSEY 7 ! . ,> Thomas G. Gamec Mayor TGG:sb
