Mayor Gamec said the Public Health Department said they would have <br />their test results and answers for the city by the meeting on <br />September 15, 1980. When the city takes over, he wanted to have <br />a lot of the problems solved. He said the city can contact Mr. Otter, <br />Waste Management, tomorrow regarding cutting back on the pump. <br />City Administrator Schnelle said he felt there should be an emergency <br />number to call as it doesn't help to call city staff or council members. <br />Mayor gamec said they are going to set up some system for phone calls <br />which will be brought up at the meeting on September 15th. <br /> Atty. Soucie said everyone told him uniformly that methane is not <br /> expected to move during the summer months. <br /> Mayor gamec said even if everything went perfect, a system to take care <br /> of the methane gas could take a minimum of 1½ years to set up, ko the <br /> city could still have the problem for the next couple years. <br /> Atty. Soucie said he was told by County Official Art Dunn that he <br /> didn't see how anyone could move next to a landfill and then complain <br /> about it. Atty. Soucie said he hoped the council had a better <br /> attitude than Mr. Dunn regarding the complaints. <br /> Mayor Gamec said if all the tests come back perfect, he didn't know <br /> where the city could go from there. <br /> <br /> Atty. Soucie said then he would take over and take it to court. <br /> Mayor Camec said the city wants the problem solved. <br /> Atty. Soucie said Friday and Saturday nights the police were called <br /> regarding the smell which was documented and also Art Dunn did find <br /> methane gas in the house and th~was also documented. <br /> Atty. Soucie said he felt the council had the right and constitutional <br /> duty to protect the rights of its citizens. <br /> Mayor Camec asked Attorney Soucie if he would have the doctor's report <br /> for the meeting on the 15th. <br /> <br /> Atty. Soucie said the doctor is doing a battery of tests of which he <br /> hoped to have the results soon. <br /> <br /> M~-~. Sue Van Wagner, 1~001 Garnet St. N.W. <br /> Ms. Van Wagner said a neighbor called Art Dunn first who said that his <br /> equipment was locked up in his basement and he told them to close up <br /> their windows and turn on their air conditioners and that it was all <br /> that could be done before Monday. Ms. Van Wagner said she was concerned <br /> because no one could do anything no matter how bad the situation was. <br /> Atty. Soucie said he would be happy to act as spokesman for the neighbors <br /> at the September 15th meeting. He said according to Ms. Ritchie, all <br /> the results of the tests wouldn't be in by the 15th. <br /> C/September 8, 1980 <br /> page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
