METROPOLITAN CO'UN C I L 300 Metro Square Building, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 October 10, 1980 MEMORANDUM TO: CAB Study Committee FROM: Jim Barton ~ SUBJECT: Meeting Notes - October 8, 1980, Brooklyn Park The following are summaries of agenda items presented and ensuing discussions. I. BRIEFING ON STATUS OF 201 STUDIES A. Status of Local 201 Studies It was brought to the committee's attention that there was a delay in the 201 studies both for Champlin and Brooklyn Park which appeared to be due to a lapse in communication between the cities and the Pollution Control Agency. The problem was further compounded by a freezing of funds which were not scheduled to be released until October. These studies need to be completed prior to the PCA's preparation of the state's project list which will be adopted around June of 1981. Representatives from Champlin and Brooklyn Park informed the committee that contacts had already been made, and it appears that the appropriate questions that .are needed to be answered are being responded to so that the work may proceed as scheduled. It was also noted that the City of Ramsey, although it was not included in the initial selection process, had Petitioned PCA early in the year to be included in the program. To date, there had not been a formal response by PCA. I said I would contact PCA staff to determine the status and see what had to be done in order for a decision to be made. B.
