J should present their recommendation to Oouncil on August 13, 1985. ' Further Discussion: Mayor Heitman asked Police Chief Auspos if he thinks the offiors would request arbitration to occur earlier than the time frame Council ' is considering in this motion. Councilmember Cox stated that Mayor Heitman's question of it. Auspos is inappropriate. Mk. Auspos stated he has never been a union steward and he doesn't know if an offer can duuige things once 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. Oouncilmember Cox stated that it was his understanding that the Personnel Committee was established to be able to discuss matters without making front page news coverage. Councilmember Cox stated that it is important to be respectful of people and matters and Ramsey yIs ' Personnel meetings have become a front page fiasoo and that is not appropriate. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Heitman, Councilmenbers Sorteberg, Cox, Rebwnn and Schlueter. Voting No: None. ' Case #3: Anoka County Environmental Services Committee: ' Mr. Schnelle inquired if Council wants to make a statement 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. Councilmember Cox 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. Cbuncilmember Cbx 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 November of 1984, Waste ' Management of Minnesota asked Ramsey for 700,000+ yards of cover; they then went to the County and asked for 500,000+ yards of cover; in the meeting with the County Environmental Services last week, Waste Management of Minnesota said they could reduce their request to 200,000+ yards of cover. 4he County ' awironmental Services did not make a recommendation; they pissed it onto the Health and Social Services Committee which will be meeting on August 8. The Health and Social Services Committee will make a recommendation to the County ' commissioners. Waste Management of Minnesota has not ruled out the possibility of borrowing from the north 80; that area is not in the moratorium area but the process would have to follow City procedures, including a public hearing. ' Motion by Mayor Heitman and seconded by Councilmember Cox, for further discussion, to table further discussion of this issue until the results of the Health and Social Services Committee are known. ' Further Discussion: Councilmember Cox stated that Ramsey should indicate that whatever procedure 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
